Introduction
The KIP Cost Review Application (CRA) allows the review the operational costs for single prints and full
production runs. Reports generated by the KIP CRA help control and track the cost of printing and copying to
allow for allocating printing costs to departments or projects.
Billing logs can be accessed from data emailed periodically by the KIP printer or directly from the controller and
are checked by the CRA to confirm that they have not been tampered with or altered. The CRA allows for
selecting the Date Range of data to import and what dates the report will cover. Once the billing log is
imported into the CRA, the reports are automatically generated for viewing, printing or emailing. Simple to
understand graphic charts are available to view trends in printing.
Administrators can supply pricing information which will be used in creating the reports:
 Monochrome Toner Cost (per case)
 Color Toner (per case)
 Monochrome Service Fees
