MediaStatus
The MediaStatus module’s function is to show how much of the media (e.g. Paper) has been used.
A meter is displayed graphically, detailing the percentage used. For the Usage meter to function, values for the Media
Length or the number of sheets loaded must be entered in the Output section of the Media data type.
Each Media displayed in the MediaStatus window has the following information:
• Media Name
• Usage Meter – Bar showing the amount of media used. Text under the bar states the exact amount used as a
percentage of the total units.
• Reset Counter – Resets the usage count for the Media.
• Logged Period – Time period (date and time, from and to) the Media has been tracked since the last reset. This
information is shown/hidden using the Show Extended Info option.
• Printed – Number of jobs and total printed area of jobs tracked since the last reset.
A contextual (right click) menu has the following options:
• Change Media – Change the selected Media for display in the status window.
• Edit Media – Edit all or part of the selected Media. Copy it, or create a new one.
• Media Order – Configure which queues are viewed by the MediaStatus window. Move Media between the
Available and Showing columns in the popup chooser.
• Show Extended Info – Show/Hide the Logged Period and Printed information for the selected Media.
• Metric Units – Toggle between Metric or Imperial units for measurements shown in the MediaStatus window.
This is enabled by default.
