Configuring Green reports

Overview

This page describes how to configure Purged Pages reports (see Green Reporting). Purged Pages reports show the number of pages that were sent to YSoft SafeQ but not printed (deleted on terminal or in SafeQ Web interface). Copies and scans are not counted to the reports.

  • if parser is enabled - you can specify the price of a particular page type

  • if parser is disabled - you can specify the average count of pages for every non-printed job. These jobs will be counted as A4 B/W jobs according to the settings for Green report jobs with the parser enabled
