Overview

YSoft SafeQ 5 introduces new way to define prices for print operations. Prices are newly defined in separate Price lists, which can be later assigned to individual users, cost centers or devices. In order to ensure proper accounting of print operations, devices must have assigned at minimum the Default Price List. Price list can be shared by multiple users, cost centers or devices. Therefore in homogenous environment where all devices run at the same cost, only one price list must be configured and can be applied to all devices, users or cost centers quickly.

Price lists assigned to individual users have the highest priority. If no price list is defined for a user, cost center price list is used. If no price list is defined for a cost center, device price list is used (note: device must always have a price list, if accounting is to be enabled).

Setting prices for MFP

For proper accounting of all type jobs on device, prices for this device must be set in Devices > Printers > Edit device > Price list tab.

Here you can define prices for all available printer functions.

If entered value has more digits than set in decimal_precision configuration property it is automatically rounded.

• Example: Number of decimal places is set to 1, administrator enters number 1.18 and number si automatically saved as 1.2

Counting price for jobs

Prices for jobs are counted based on these formulas:

For scanning:

• Scan cost x number of scan pages

For copying and printing:

• (Cost per click x number of printed pages) + (paper cost x number of used papers) + (page cost x number of printed pages)
