Account information in the log file
Account information in the log file
Introduction
This section describes the standard fields available in the log files.
Structure of the log file
The standard log file is a normal CSV file that you can use in a spreadsheet 
application. The first line contains the titles of columns that match to the names 
of the fields.
An account log record (1 line) is generated for each output page. A job that has 
several pages of output, will have a similar number of account log records.
Each line of text is a record. All records that are part of a single job will have 
the same value for the Job Unique ID field. The Job Unique ID field is part 
of each record and is unique for each job in the file. Use the Job Unique ID 
field to collect records that are part of a single job and to calculate the totals for 
the whole job.
The first field in each record is a 4-digit number in ASCII, which identifies the 
record type. The fields in a record have a fixed order determined by the record 
type. The first two digits of the record type identify the product. See the table 
below.
The records include a sequence of fields separated by a field separator 
character.
The fields contain alphanumeric text, semicolons and end-of-lines. When a 
device does not support a function, or when a function was not used for the job, 
the field remains empty.

The log file contains two different record types, 6410 and 6411.
The first record in each account log file is 6410 and contains a list of 
abbreviated field names that occur in the records of type 6411. The 6410 record 
type is always the same in each account log file and is used as a comment. For 
example to explain the meaning of the fields if the file is imported in an 
application like Microsoft
® Excel.
The 6411 record in each account log file contains the actual account log 
information (the second up to the last record in the account log file). (see 
‘Description of the parameters in the standard account log file’).
Note:The Océ TDS800 uses the record types 6110 and 6111. The Océ TDS600 
uses the record types 6210 and 6211. The Océ TDS400 uses the record types 
6310 and 6311.
