Accounting => Print Usage Report PSV collects accounting data from multiple sources. The monthly summary reports based on the accounting data collected from printing devices in Device Job Accounting Logs is shown in this report. If the unit costs for color and mono pages are entered in the Accounting Options, the price is also shown. The report can be filtered for individual users or for specific periods of time. Since there are two separate sources of print logs (Windows logs and device job logs), the program determines if the device job logs are available for a given printer. If they are, then the device job logs are used for that printer. Otherwise Windows logs are used. Note that Windows Job Logs are available only if PSV Agent is installed on a Windows XP or a Windows 2003 computer. Services => Data Synchronization In most enterprise environments, the user list is maintained by the IT Department usually in Active Directory. Computers running PSV can be configured to synchronize the user list with Active Directory. Managed Device Data Synchronization Devices configured to be managed need to be periodically synchronized with the PSV database. Data is synchronized both from the device to PSV and from PSV to the device. First, the current usage data needs to be collected from the devices and stored in 163
