This section will help you start using O&K Print Watch.

Follow these simple steps:

• Log into the Server as an administrator.
• Run O&K Print Watch.
  
  

  IMPORTANT: You can set a password for launching the program. To do it, select the Tools-> Password menu item. Next time you start the program, you will have to enter the password to continue.

  
  
• Select the File->Connect menu item. Enter the name of the print server (for example, MY-SERVER) in the dialog box or click the Browse button to search the network neighborhood for the server. After you add the print server, the icon in the tree of O&K Print Watch Control Program will show its status.
  
  - This icon shows a print server with O&K Print Watch Service running on it.
  
  - This icon shows a print server where O&K Print Watch Service is not installed, is not running or it is impossible to connect to. Control Program will show a dialog box with an error message in this case.
  
  

  IMPORTANT: If there are several print servers with O&K Print Watch in your network and all of them use one and the same database, you can connect to any of these print servers. You will see statistics for every server in the database.

  
  
• Select the Printer->Add menu item, you will see all printer installed LOCALLY on the selected print server in the new dialog box.
• Select the printers you want to audit. As soon as you do it, statistics for this printer will be saved.

Printers statistics is not saved for are highlighted in grey in the tree of the program. You can use the Enabled item on the context menu to enable monitoring for such a printer.

To stop collecting statistics for a printer, select it in the tree and clear the Enabled checkbox on its context menu.

IMPORTANT: If your printer has its own network interface, print jobs sent from computers where it is installed as a local one (Microsoft® TCP/IP Printing, LPR port) will not be added to statistics.

IMPORTANT: For the printed pages and copies to be determined correctly, you should install this printer as a local one on the computer where O&K Print Watch is installed. Then specify the printer port as MS Standard TCP\IP port with the printer IP address or JetDirect of the network print server. Every user must connect to this printer via the print server \\ServerName\PrinterName. The number of printed pages will be determined correctly in this case.
