Managing the Number of Printed Sheets Using the Classification Code
You can count the number of prints of a job made under each classification code. In addition, you can use user authentication to manage prints by category such as billing or client.
The classification code is recorded in the job log. You can download a job log from Web Image Monitor or a log collection server.
Printing with the classification code is enabled in the PCL 6 printer driver.
