Just as you can choose from different queues for printing, you can charge different prices for printing based on the queue chosen. You can also charge different prices for printing based on account file categories. Accounting Chargeback lets you specify different prices for pages printed according to the printer queue name and accounting file category.
Specify categories and printer names according to the following format:
category::printer_queue_name:PAGE_PRICE = value
This is an example of a page price with a queue name and category:
8800::SYS$PRINT_LINE:PAGE_PRICE = 0.0200
For example, you may want to charge more per page for documents printed on a PrintServer 40 laser printer than for documents printed on a line printer. This charge can vary from system to system, as shown in the following example.
If the page price keyword or its price is absent from the price file, the price of zero is applied to all of the print queues in any of the accounting files.
The example below illustrates price file page prices:
! ! Default Prices ! . . . PAGE_PRICE = 0.030001
! ! Default Prices by Queue ! . . . LASER_QUEUE:PAGE_PRICE = 0.0400 ! ! 8800 Prices ! . . . 8800::LASER_QUEUE:PAGE_PRICE = 0.05002
8800::SYS$PRINT_LINE:PAGE_PRICE = 0.0125 ! ! 2000 Prices ! . . . 2000::LASER.QUE:PAGE_PRICE = 0.0250 2000::SYS$PRINT_LINE:PAGE_PRICE = 0.0125
1 - If an accounting file has no category in the command line, the pages from the LASER_QUEUE are charged at $0.40 per page and all other pages printed are charged at $0.03 per page.
2 - If an accounting file has the category 8800, the pages from the LASER_QUEUE queue are charged at $0.05 and the pages from the SYS$PRINT_LINE queue are charged at $0.02. All other printer queues in this accounting file are charged at $0.03.
