Print Logger Properties

This page allows you to set a global program's settings and to define quotas for the computer.

Program Status - values: Stopped (the agent is unloaded from memory and the control of printing is disabled), Running (the agent is loaded in the memory and the control of printing is on). The Stop button is used to a complete stop of the program and unloading it from memory. It is useful at upgrade to the new version of the program and after modifications in the configuration (enabling or disabling of printers audit). After stopping the program should be started again using the Start button.

Run as service - allows you to run program as Windows (NT/2000/XP/2003) native service.

Program Audit Mode: you can select one of the following modes:

• Program Active - means, that gathering the information about printing is on Print job is authorized in case quotas are not exceeded (if this option is used);

• Program Passive - means, that agent is switched off. From full stop this mode differs that the program is in memory and watches maintenance of a urgency of the configuration information (amount of printers, their names, etc.).

Program Up Time - an operating time of the program from the moment of its start by "Start" button or automatic start with the operational system (filled automatically).

The general statistics of work of the program is submitted by fields:

• Jobs Processed - amount of the processed jobs since time determined Quota Basis (day or month);

• Pages Processed - amount of the processed pages since time determined Quota Basis (day or month);

• Jobs Allowed - amount of jobs, which has been allowed since time determined Quota Basis (day or month);

• Jobs Canceled - amount of jobs, which has been cancelled since time determined Quota Basis (day or month);.
  All listed fields are filled automatically.

Allow Host Restrictions - switches on or off the control over quotas of a computer. If the flag is set, the control of quotas, over an opposite case of a quota is made for the given computer are not used, but the information about print jobs continues to gather.

Host Quota defines: a quota of a computer in pages (Host Quota, Pages) and in kilobytes (Host Quota, Kbytes) per day or month (Quota Basis); amount of the spent quota in pages (Quota Used, Pages) and in kilobytes (Quota Used, Kbytes); amount of the remaining quota in pages (Quota remaining, Pages) and in kilobytes (Quota remaining, Kbytes). Quota Basis is the period of time (month or day) during which operate the defined quotas. On the expiration of this period the current values of printing statistics (Quota Used) are nulled, and values of the rests of quotas (Quota remaining) become equal Host Quota.

To disable checking quotas in kilobytes you should enter "0" to the "Host Quota, Kbytes" field. In that case, only quota in pages will be checked.

Example:
Quota Basis "DAY" is used on 1.01.2004 the following quotas have been defined:
Host Quota, Pages = 100
Host Quota, Kbytes = 1000
For last day the user has used:
Quota Used, Pages = 2
Quota Used, Kbytes = 100
The user within the current day still can use:
Quota remaining, Pages = 98
Quota remaining, Kbytes = 900
At start of the program on 2.01.2004 quotas of the user will be such:
Host Quota, Pages = 100
Host Quota, Kbytes = 1000
Quota Used, Pages = 0
Quota Used, Kbytes = 0
Quota remaining, Pages = 100
Quota remaining, Kbytes = 1000
In other words, counters of used quotas will be nulled every day (or month if it is chosen Quota Basis "MONTH").

At the bottom of the window there are three buttons: OK (closes a window with saving the modified data submitted in a window), Apply (not closing a window, saves the data, submitted in a window) and Close (closes a window, discards the data). If the user has started the console as the "observer" role, after closing the program all modification will lost. Change the settings of gathering of the information the user "Administrator" can only do.
