Guide for Accounting Manager (Windows)

The Features of Accounting Manager

Accounting Manager is a software program that constantly communicates with managed printers to collect

job logs. The collected job logs are saved to the hard disk of your computer.

You can use Accounting Manager to do the following actions.

• Print Job Log Collection

This allows you to check which documents were printed from each printer, who printed them and when.

• Calculation of the Total Pages Used and the Total Cost

This allows you to use the collected print job logs to calculate totals for items such as the number of

pages printed, the amount of paper used and the printing costs incurred.

• Regular Data Acquisition for Print Jobs

Acquires job logs regularly.

• Exporting Job Logs

You can export the collected job logs to a file.

Note

• If the computer on which Accounting Manager is installed is not turned on or the computer is in sleep

mode, the job logs cannot be collected.

To acquire job logs without fail, it is recommended that you install Accounting Manager on the computer

used for administration and keep it constantly running for use.

Important

• Accounting Manager displays estimates for the amount of ink consumed per print and paper consumed.

The actual consumption may be different.

The average error for estimates based on the Canon ink cost measurement conditions is ±15%. Canon

cannot guarantee the accuracy of these estimates. These estimates will also vary depending on the

conditions of printer use.

Note also that these estimates do not include ink consumed in procedures such as forced nozzle

discharges by the cleaning mechanism.
