an administrator is provided with a matrix whereby different billing requirements
can be associated with different discrete functions, such as printing, scanning,
faxing, and finishing, within a single machine. The administrator is provided with
options to control the behavior of the machine when required billing codes are
not entered,such as holding image data relating to a requested job in a machine
until the required billing codes have been entered.
