User Name Versus Account ID
User Name
The User Name is displayed whenever print logs are displayed.
The User Name’s sole purpose is to make it easy to see who has
been printing.
The User Name is assigned when creating an Account ID. See
page 73. It may be set up to represent an individual client or a
group of clients. The User Name is associated with the Account
ID number.
The User Name does have to be the same as the Windows Login
User Name.
Account ID
The Account ID is the number Print Job Accounting actually uses
to identify clients.
Account ID values of 1 through 1879048191 can be assigned.
Clients who do not have their own Account ID will be recognized
as Unregistered ID(0).
Normally, one Account ID is assigned to each individual client.
One Account ID can be assigned to multiple clients. All of the
print jobs will be combined as the same client when the System
totals up.
Account IDs must be set for each individual registered printer
connected to the Server.
The same Account ID can be used for more than one printer.
Different limits can be set for each printer.
You can use Account ID to limit clients’ access to printers.
Permit Only Some Clients to Print
Do not assign Account ID(s) to each and every client.
Assign Account ID(s) only to those clients who are permitted to
print.
All other clients will be recognized as Unregistered ID(0).
Change the settings (limits) so Unregistered ID clients are not
allowed to print.
