Costs
page it is intended for setting of printed page cost, depending on
a used format of a paper, cost of a toner or the ink necessary for
a printing of one page and a mode of a printing (the duplex
printing is used or the printing is conducted on one side of a
sheet).
For
setting of the cost parameters you need to know cost of a sheet of
a paper for the chosen format and cost of a toner or the ink, spent
for printing of one side of a page (for color and (or) a monochrome
mode of printing).
Cost
of one sheet of a paper is determined division of cost of the
package into quantity of sheets in it. For example, for paper (
format Ð4) which costs of 5 USD and containing 500 sheets this
value will be 5/500 = 0.01 USD per sheet.
Cost
of a toner on one page calculates proceeding from cost of a
cartridge and its resource. For example, for printer Samsung
ML-1250, a monochrome mode of a printing, cost of a cartridge 55
USD. The cartridge resource is 1500 pages. Then cost of a toner per
one printed page is 55/1500 = 0.04 USD.
Similarly
for a cartridge for the color printer. If your printer does not
support a color printing you do not need to setup cost of a toner
for a color mode and on the contrary if the printing is conducted
only in color you do not need to setup cost for a monochrome
mode.
Cost
of the printed page calculates depending of a paper format and a
mode of printing (monochrome, color, a duplex):
|
·
|
Monochrome
printing without duplex, page format A4: Page_Cost = Paper_Cost +
Monochrome_Toner_Per_Page_Cost;
|
|
·
|
Monochrome
printing with duplex, page format A4: Page_Cost = Paper_Cost +(
Monochrome_Toner_Per_Page_Cost * 2);
|
|
·
|
Color
printing with duplex, page format A4: Page_Cost = Paper_Cost +(
Color_Toner_Per_Page_Cost * 2);

Calculation
of cost can be made by two ways:
Method 1.
Cost of page is defined for each used format. In this case when a
page is printed on a format which cost is set, calculation will be
is made using the set parameters. If parameters for the given
format are not defined, cost of page will be 0;
Method 2.
Cost only for a base format is defined. In this case parameters of
cost for one format are set and this format is defined as a base
format. At calculation of a printed page cost the scale factor is
used. Scale factor is a ratio of the areas of a printed page and
base format page. Calculation is made by definition of a page cost
for a base format and multiplied on the scale factor.
Enable Accounting Engine -
enables or disables calculating costs for printed pages.
Use Base Format Only -
Instructs the program to use the Method 2 for calculation of
printing cost, if this switch it is on. When this switch is off,
the method 1 is used. More in detail about these methods you can
read above.
Paper Sheet Cost -
In this field you should to define the cost of one sheet of a paper
for the chosen format.
Color Toner/Ink Cost per Sheet -
In this field you should to define cost of a color toner (or ink),
spent for printing one sheet of a paper of the chosen
format.
Monochrome Toner/Ink Cost per Sheet -
In this field you should to define cost of a monochrome toner (or
ink), spent for printing one sheet of a paper of the chosen
format.
Page Cost for Color -
This field displays printing cost for one color page for the chosen
format.
Page Cost for Monochrome -
This field displays printing cost for one monochrome page for the
chosen format.
Duplex Page Cost for Color -
This field displays printing cost for one color page for the chosen
format using duplex printing.
Duplex Page Cost for Monochrome -
This field displays printing cost for one monochrome page for the
chosen format using duplex printing.
Base Format -
This switch defines the chosen format as a base format.
-
Using this button you can remove formats of a paper which you do
not use for this printer.
Remove All Formats -
Using this button you can remove all formats of a paper for this
printer.
Reset All Formats -
This option recreates the list of paper formats for this printer.
ATTENTION: all printing cost settings for all formats for this
printer will be lost!
Refresh All Formats -
This option updates the list of paper formats for this printer. All
printing cost settings for all formats for this printer will be
kept. You should setup printing cost for added formats if such
is.
