Xerox 4090 - Manual (Page 149)

B. Meter reading and reporting
As the LPS prints jobs, it accumulates and saves usage
information. Instead of using physical meters, the system
controller records the page count in its memory. Each month
you need to review and transmit this information to Xerox for
billing purposes. This chapter describes how to extract this
information and report it to Xerox.
Meter reading
During the last five working days of the month, when the system
is idle, you must extract the billing information and report it to
Xerox. To obtain a billing report, enter the REPORT BILLING
command at the keyboard. This command gives two options for
viewing the data: displayed and hardcopy (print). If you do not
specify whether to display or print the information, the system
only displays it.
REPORT BILLING,DISPLAY If you enter the REPORT BILLING,DISPLAY command, the
information appears on the display.
REPORT BILLING,PRINT If you enter the REPORT BILLING,PRINT command, the
information is sent to the printer, which produces a printed
billing summary.
REPORT BILLING,DISPLAY,PRINT This command results in both a displayed and printed billing
summary.
There are two meters maintained by the LPS for customer billing:
• Meter A counts all good impressions delivered to their
intended output tray. This meter cannot be reset.
• Meter J counts only sheets printed in the printer diagnostic
mode and delivered to their intended output tray. Like
meter A, it cannot be reset.
In figure B-1, GOOD IMPRESSIONS SUCCESSFULLY DELIVERED:
refers to
meter A, and
SHEETS PRINTED IN IOT DIAGNOSTIC MODE:
refers to
meter J. When reporting through the touchtone telephone
system, report only meter A. When reporting through a modem,
both meters are reported automatically.
