Some important things to know about the Ricoh adapter:
- All of the copies you create in one login session will be billed as the same job. If you are planning on billing multiple customers, you should log out between jobs.
- Jobs on a Ricoh are tracked by the internal job counter. All paper sizes up to 8.5 x 14 increment the counter by one click, while 11 x 17 paper increments the counter by two clicks. Each click is viewed in Argos as a single sheet of Letter sized paper, so printing a single copy with Tabloid sized paper will be reported as two pages of Letter paper.
- The adapter is only used for tracking copies. Printing to a Ricoh is tracked through a standard Windows print queue.
