1 Introduction The Account Management Tool provides a central point to administer accounts and users and track print, copy and scan usage for several AccXES based printers. The Account Management Tool application runs on a Windows PC, or a Solaris workstation. Beginning with AccXES firmware version 7.5, the media usage (job accounting) of multiple printers is tracked through the Account Management Tool (AMT), or some other external accounting server. This replaces the functionality of the AccXES Client Tools (ACT) Accounting Tab, which becomes disabled when ACT is communicating with a printer that is using AccXES firmware version 7.0, or greater. WARNING: It is critical to first save media usage data from the printers' controllers before loading version 7.0 or greater AccXES firmware, or the data will be lost. The pre 7.0 AccXES firmware accounting data can be saved by using one of the following techniques: the pre­7.0 Web PMT Accounting page, the AccXES Client Tools' Accounting Tab, the individual DST that existed prior to the AccXES Client Tools, or the data can be saved to a floppy disk. See Appendix 1 in the AccXES Account Management Tool Administrator's Guide for details. 1.1 How the AMT Works Read the Overview and try the Tutorial in the AMT help files in the AccXES Account Management Tool Administrator's Guide. 1.2 Installing AMT It is recommended that the AMT should be installed on only one workstation. Both the AccXES Client Tools and the Account Management Tool can be installed during the same installation process. A password is needed for installing AMT. If a password is not entered on the "Enter Password" screen, the "NEXT" button is pressed to continue with installing only the AccXES Client Tools. See the Read Me file, or the AccXES Account Management Tool Administrator's Guide for installation details. NOTES: • Because of the additional media types, AMT 11.0 cannot load the previous version's (v8.0) TALLY tables. The tallied database can be regenerated from the Raw Job Page 2

1  Introduction
The Account Management Tool provides a central point to administer accounts and users and
track print, copy and scan usage for several AccXES based printers.  The Account Management
Tool application runs on a Windows PC, or a Solaris workstation.
Beginning with AccXES firmware version 7.5, the media usage (job accounting) of multiple
printers is tracked through the Account Management Tool (AMT), or some other external
accounting server. This replaces the functionality of the AccXES Client Tools (ACT) Accounting
Tab, which becomes disabled when ACT is communicating with a printer that is using AccXES
firmware version 7.0, or greater.
WARNING
:  It is critical to first save media usage data from the printers’ controllers before
loading version 7.0 or greater AccXES firmware, or the data will be lost. 
The pre 7.0 AccXES firmware accounting data can be saved by using one of the following
techniques: the pre-7.0 Web PMT Accounting page, the AccXES Client Tools' Accounting Tab,
the individual DST that existed prior to the AccXES Client Tools, or the data can be saved to a
floppy disk. See Appendix 1 in the AccXES Account Management Tool Administrator’s Guide
 for
details.
1.1  How the AMT Works
Read the Overview and try the Tutorial in the AMT help files in the AccXES Account
Management Tool Administrator’s Guide.
1.2  Installing AMT
It is recommended that the AMT should be installed on only one workstation.  Both the AccXES
Client Tools and the Account Management Tool can be installed during the same installation
process. A password  is needed for installing AMT.  If a password is not entered on the “Enter
Password” screen, the “NEXT” button is pressed to continue with installing only the AccXES
Client Tools. See the Read Me file, or the AccXES Account Management Tool Administrator’s
Guide
 for installation details.
NOTES
:
•
Because of the additional media types, AMT 11.0 cannot load the previous version’s
(v8.0) TALLY tables. The tallied database can be regenerated from the Raw Job
