    The Accounting Manager stores the printer's print job logs so that you can use the information for checking printing costs,
    etc.
    The benefits of using the Accounting Manager are outlined below. •Print Job Log Collection
    This allows you to check which documents were printed from each printer, who printed them and when.
    • Calculation of the Total Pages Used and the Total Cost
    This 
    
    allows you to use the collected print job logs to calculate totals for items such as the number of pages printed, the
    amount of paper used and the printing costs incurred.
    • Regular Data Acquisition for Print Jobs
    This automatically logs print jobs at regular intervals.
    • Exporting Print Job Data
    This allows you to export collected print job data as a CSV file. Important
    • The 
    Accounting  Manager  in  Status  Monitor  displays  approximate  estimates  of  the  amount  of  paper  con-
    sumed  and  the  ink  consumed  per  job.  Canon  cannot  guarantee  the  accuracy  of  these  estimates.  These  esti-mates will also vary depending on the conditions of printer use.
    • Print job log collection is not performed when  Set./Adj. Menu-> Printer Info-> Show Job Log  of the con-
    trol panel is  Off. However,
    • even if  Show Job Log  is set to Off, regularly acquired jobs that already have been retrieved at that time are
    displayed.
    • When Show Job Log has been set to On again, all jobs within the printer at that time are displayed.
