Select an accounting mode

Select an accounting mode
The accounting feature on PRISMAsync stores and handles job and user information in account
log files. You can customize the definition of account log files to process the logging data into
your cost charts or invoices.
You must define account IDs to charge job costs to departments or customers and enable the
user identification in the Settings Editor. PRISMAsync can verify the entered account IDs, to make
sure that only valid users can use the print system. When a submitted job does not have a valid
account ID, PRISMAsync sends it to the list of waiting jobs. The print system will only start to
process the job when a correct account ID is entered.
When accounting is active, the printer driver and the control panel will ask for an account ID
before the print system handles the job. Define the accounting mode on the control panel to
determine how PRISMAsync interacts with the operator.
Accounting modes:
• [Per job]
This mode requires authentication per job. You can see the last used account ID which you can
overwrite.
• [Per job] ([Clear account ID])
This mode requires authentication per job. You cannot see the last used account ID.
• [Fixed]
This mode uses a fixed account ID, but you can change the account ID. Be aware that the fixed
mode implies that the print system overrules the account ID that is entered in the printer
driver.
