Greetings Teamies,
I have been slogging through the manual this evening. The accounting exit
is doing what it was designed to do and there is no apparent way to
increase or change the information put into the log. We get what we
get. There is no flag for simplex and duplex.
I am still struggling with the postscript accounting and have exchanged
more email with Banta to pursue this issue.
One way for us to be able to account for simplex/duplex issue is to set up
logical destinations, that only allow one or the other......therefore by
sorting by logical destination, we would know that everything that came out
of logical destination x, is really npages in report, minus 1 divided by 2
(a duplex logical destination).
This is an option and possible pain in the cookies to maintain, but I am
just trying to think some of this through to allow us to be able to
distinguish simplex, duplex printing to try and provided
incentives/disincentives for doing same.
I will pursue more of the postscript accounting and printing of copies
tomorrow.
Lynne
