Charging options

Print Inspector can calculate and record the monetary cost of each printing job for accounting purposes. The calculations are based on the number of printed pages, colour information, and paper size. To assign monetary costs, choose Printer – Charging Options from the main menu:

• The Base page charge is the amount charged for a single black & white A4 page.
• The Colour job surcharge is the amount added to the base page charge if the job is printed in colour.
• The Large job surcharge is the amount added to the base page charge if the job is printed on paper larger than A4.
• The Duplex job surcharge is the amount added to the base page charge if the job is double-sided. This surcharge can be negative in you wish to encourage double-sided printing to conserve paper.

For example, with the above values, if a user prints a 10-page job in colour, the job cost will be 10 * (0.05 + 0.10) = $1.50. If the same job is printed on both sides of each sheet, the job cost will be 10 * (0.05 + 0.10 - 0.02) = $1.30.
