Introduction 6 Job Accounting The Job Accounting option lets you track print jobs for accounting purposes by associating the print job with specific account information. This information includes a user name or ID, an account code, and a department code. This option lets you track the number of print jobs from different users or departments and bill those print jobs to a specific account. By associating print jobs with specific account information, you can enforce quotas on the print jobs that users can submit. Quotas can be set on the printer, and then associated with a specific account. Note: This feature is available only in select printer models. Dynamic driver configuration The UPD version 2 can update itself to reflect the features and options of any supported printer model. When connected to a printer through USB or over a network, the driver automatically updates its configuration. The driver settings then show only the paper sizes, trays, types, finishing options, and other options that the printer supports. You can configure the driver to determine a printer model automatically. Administrators can also manually choose a specific printer model from the Configuration tab in the Printer Properties dialog.
