Job accounting on Kyocera

The job accounting records automatically what costs print and copy jobs on Kyocera devices incur. You can allocate those costs per user and per cost centre — for internal billing between departments, for example.

Docuflair offers a great many different ways of representing the job accounting.

Job accounting through the printer driver

This variant is of interest for Kyocera multifunction printers where print jobs are delivered directly. Before a print job is sent, a popup appears in which you can supply information about the user and the cost centre. The values entered are supplied in the header of the print job and interpreted correctly by the Kyocera multifunction device through the Docuflair network job accounting. This possibility is particularly relevant where several people use the same computer under the same user account. By entering the details in the popup, the settings of the user actually signed in are ignored; you can also use cost centres.

The printer driver

To switch the popup on, make the following settings:

In the Windows print management (Windows+R, printmanagement.msc), open the properties of the Kyocera printer driver you want. Using the KX Kyocera Print Driver is recommended.

The print options popup

To identify the user, enter either the sign-in name stored in Docuflair or — where you know it — the unique identifier (createId) of the user you want. For the cost centre number, enter either the name of the group of the type cost centre or its unique identifier (createId).
