User Name Versus Account ID
The Difference
The User Name is displayed whenever print logs are displayed, and
its sole purpose is to make it easy to see who has been printing.
Account ID is the number Job Accounting actually utilizes to identify
users.
The User Name does not necessarily need to be the same as
Windows Login User Name.
Account ID
An Account ID has to be assigned to each user. If the same Account
ID is assigned to different users, all the print jobs they have made will
be added up as the same user when the System totals up.
• Users who do not have their own Account ID will be recognized as
Unregistered ID(0).
• Account ID values of 1 through 1879048191 can be assigned.
• All Account IDs must be set in the Server computer for each of the
Client computers that will be allowed to print to a specific printer.
Examples of assigning Account ID
To permit only some users to print.
In this case, you need not necessarily assign an Account ID to
each and every user. You assign one only to those users who are
permitted to print. All other users will be recognized as
Unregistered ID(0) and all you have to do is to inhibit printing by
Unregistered ID users.
To permit only some users to print in color
You can prevent any Unregistered ID users from printing in color,
in the same way as above.
To set the print limits and collect print logs by departments
In this case, you need not necessarily assign an Account ID to
each and every user. All you have to do is to assign an Account ID
to each department and specify the Group Name in place of User
Name.
