Printing Accounts.
A print account is a new way to enhance and detail print statistics in those cases when the analysis by usernames is not enough.
For example, you can use accounts in the following cases:
- Some or all users use one and the same Windows account to log into the network.
In this case, all printed documents will belong to one and the same username.
To avoid it and get detailed statistics for each user, it is necessary to use printing accounts.
Whenever a user prints a document, he will have to specify the account this job must belong to.
- It is often necessary to keep statistics not only for users, but also for projects they work on.
In this case, you can create a printing account for each project and all jobs of such an account will be the printing history of this project.
Creating a printing account.
To create a new printing account and manage those already existing, use the User -> Printing Accounts menu item.
It is possible to disable a printing account. In this case, you can view the statistics of this account,
but it is impossible to select the disabled printing account when new jobs are printed.
Using printing accounts.
To use a printing account, you should enable the Redirect to Account action for a printer, a user or a user group.
Use the Properties -> Actions -> Redirect to Account item from the context menu of an object
For notifications about redirecting jobs and selecting accounts to be displayed, the
O&K Print Watch Authentication Client must be installed on the user's computer.
When printing a job, the user will be offered to select the account that should be used for the document.
Quotas and actions can be specified for any account.
For example, for a job to be redirected to a particular account using a password or a PIN code,
you should enable the PIN code action for this account.
In this case, the user will have to enter the password in order to print the document after selecting the account.
You can view the statistics of printing accounts the way you do it with other objects.
To do it, select the Accounts tab in the left tree of the program.
