accounting criteria
The activities that update an account are: Copy, Collate Copy, Scan
to File, Print from File. The accounting system records the number of
times the system scans, prints, and copies (straight-through scan and
print). Scan to File updates only the scan fields, Print from File only
the print fields, while Copy and Collate Copy update both. The
number of square feet or square meters for scanning and printing
activities are calculated from the Input size and Output size settings.
The calculations for paper usage in square feet incorporate the full

accounting log files
Your scanner software creates special log files for direct integration
into your invoicing and bookkeeping systems. Accounting data is
organized in files for easy loading into spreadsheets or databases.
Accounting data files are stored in the scanner software Accounting
file folder. There is one file for each account you create. The files are
named: <account name>.csv. These (.csv) files can be viewed raw
with standard text editors like MS Notepad and they can be loaded
into popular spreadsheet and database applications.
The files contain lines of comma-separated fields. Each line
represents a single action and a line’s fields contain values
recorded during the action. The actions that trigger the creation of a
new line are: Copy, Collate Copy, Scan to File, Print from File.
