The account logging mechanism
For accounting purposes, the Océ Power Logic Controller is able to keep track
of all your jobs.
For each copy/print/scan job the job info and the paper usage is
stored. For scan to file with check print 2 records are generated, one for the
scan to file and one for the check print.
All this data is stored in a file: the account log file. The account file contains a
record for each copy/print/scan job.
Account logging consists of the following steps:
1 Enable the Account logging option
2 Set the file format properties
3 Make copy/print/scan jobs on the right account
4 Retrieve the generated Account logging file
5 Use the generated Account logging file
1 Enable the Account logging option
Account logging is an option. You enable this option in the Settings Editor via
a password (see ‘Account logging’ on page 191).
2 The account log file
File format The account logging information is stored in a file. The format of
the file is either ASCII (using the ISO Latin-1 encoding) or UTF-16. The
format depends on the Logging file format setting (see ‘File format’ on
page 201). The file format is either YYYYMMDD.csv (for ASCII files), or
YYYYMMDD.txt (for UTF-16 files). You set the file name in the settings
editor (see ‘File format’ on page 201).
File content The account log file content is based on a text file consisting of a
sequence of lines of text. A line of text is an ordered sequence of characters.
Records consist of a sequence of fields separated by a field separator character
(see ‘File field separator’ on page 201). Each line of text forms a record. The
records can be of different types, as indicated by a record type identifier which
is the first field in a record.
