The Accounting Management Plug-in provides an
e cient cost-recovery solution to any organization look-
ing to charge its clients for copies, prints, faxes, and scans.
For all your imageRUNNER or imageRUNNER ADVANCE
systems enabled with MEAP technology, a simple-to-use
MEAP application is included. When using this program,
user authentication and billing codes are input from the
device’s touch-panel, providing simple organization to
all jobs performed by the Canon imageRUNNER or
imageRUNNER ADVANCE system. For optimal e ciency,
users can also enter billing data from their workstations.
The Accounting Management Plug-in gives you a detailed
snapshot of your organization’s resources. Through this
application, users can control their costs through a number
of advanced capabilities:
• Track by Paper Type: Analyze and manage cost
by paper type and size.
• Track by Individual, Group, or Department: Determine
how devices are being used.
• Single- or Double-sided Output: Account for single- and
double-sided output and N-up print/copy output.
• Device Paper Consumption and Device Usage Costs:
Account for pages output, sheets used, and costs
incurred by each device.
• Output Restriction: Distinguish between color and
black-and-white jobs and set usage limits based on the
number of clicks or predetermined cost.
• Automatic Reporting: Schedule automatic reporting and
receive reports via e-mail.
• Advanced Analysis: Export accounting and analysis
reports as CSV fi les for advanced analysis using a
bundled Microsoft
®
Excel
macro.
• Web-based Access: Generate reports or any other
administrative functions from anywhere on the network.
The billing code can be recorded in three ways using either:
Accounting Management Driver Add-in: When
printing from a PC to a Canon printer.
Billing Code Plug-in: When a walk-up user prints
directly from a Canon device.
Accounting Management Client PC: When printing to
third-party printers, the billing code data is accepted
through a pop-up window and sent directly to the
Accounting Management Plug-in.
All three components are included in the Accounting
Management Plug-in package.
