6 Accounting and Billing
The following section explains the various accounting log versions
that are available for systems configured with accounting and
billing capability. It also lists the billing meters for each region and
an explanation of each meter.
Accounting
The Accounting function in the Xerox FreeFlow ® Print Server
software produces a number of reports that enable the
administrator to accurately bill customers.
Auto exporting accounting log
The Accounting function will automatically export and purge the
accounting data when the database reaches 80% capacity. This
will protect data from being overwritten before the log runs out of
space. The export function is performed automatically and then
the file is saved automatically to a designated directory. The
default file directory where the accounting log is saved is: /export/
home/xrusr/accountingexportfiles.
NOTE: When purging, the oldest entry is purged first.
Accounting exported values
The Accounting feature tracks all jobs that have been processed
and printed, enabling your site to charge for use of the Xerox
printing system.
