Job Status tab (Device Configuration)

This tab allows you to enable and configure options for tracking jobs.

This tab is not displayed for Konica Minolta devices.
Option Description
Track job status Select this check box to enable tracking for the destination if this feature is supported for the destination, usually destinations for devices that support JBA (job based accounting).
Polling interval for job status information Specifies the interval in hh:mm:ss between queries to the server for job status information.
Re-cost document based on accounting feedback from printer Use accounting information from the printer to calculate costs shown in the logging information.
Assign job status profile Specifies the job status profile that maps status values to columns in the status logs. The default mapping is used if you do not select a profile.

Click the New button to map values to columns in a new profile. Click Manage to open the Manage Job Status Mapping Profiles dialog box to manage all job status profiles.

Job status via private MIB Clear the Disabled check box to auto-detect the management information base on your system to monitor objects provided Output Manager.
Read job status from printer Specifies to read job status information from the printer supplied in a Logfile or in a Database. Choosing either of these options enables additional options that you must configure so that Output Manager can access information from the log file or database.

Konica Minolta iOption devices

You only need to configure settings on this tab for Konica Minolta iOption devices when IPP destinations are used and you wish to track print job status via IPP.

This only works with printers that support RFC 2910, RCF 2911, and IPP/1.1.

In that case, use the following settings:

  • Select the Track job status check box.
  • Select the IPP Default Job Status profile.
  • Clear the Read job status from printer check box.

The easiest way to confirm that this feature is working correctly is to clear the Track Print check box on the Device Details tab, and to enable the IPP job status on this tab. Then, send a print job to the printer, and run a report to see that the job accounting data was captured. If it does not get captured, clear the Track job status check box on this tab, and select the Track Print check box on the Device Details tab.

Output Manager tracks and reports on all documents it sends to Konica Minolta devices, but the Job Status tab is hidden by default for these devices due to potential inconsistencies in the information we receive when print tracking is enabled.
