Require account ID
If you want to keep records of printer usage by dierent users, you can set your printer to require an account ID
for each job. At the front panel, tap , then Job management > Job queue > Account ID.
If this setting is turned on, the account ID eld will be mandatory and jobs with no account ID will be kept "on hold
for accounting".
The account ID can be set in the printer driver when sending the job. If the job is set "on hold for accounting" by
the printer, you can introduce the account ID in the driver or front panel, by going to the job queue and clicking
the job that is on hold. A window with a text box is displayed and you can enter the account ID into it.
