Track Printing Costs with Canon’s Accounting Manager Software

Accounting manager software Canon printersThe Accounting Manager software included with the Canon iPF6300, iPF6350 and iPF8300 is a powerful utility that allows you to track printing costs down to the penny. Once set up, the software tracks the amount of media and ink used for each individual job and provides you with the cost for that job. This information can even be exported to Microsoft Excel for long term cost tracking.

The Accounting Manager software is only available for PC users. However, if you are running a Mac and your printer is networked, you can still use this software from a PC on the network.

In the video below, you will learn how to access, set up, and track your printing costs for jobs printed on the iPF6300, iPF6350, and iPF8300.

Importing custom media types for Canon iPF inkjet printers

How to Import Custom Media Types for Canon iPF Inkjet Printers

Import custom media types ICC profiles Canon inkjet printer

When printing to Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6300, iPF6350 or iPF8300 large format inkjet printers you need to make sure that you are using the correct ICC Profile and Media Type. Both are available for download at http://www.lexjet.com/Profiles.aspx.

The Canon Media Configuration Tool for these three printers allows you to add custom media types for third-party media. Importing a custom media type offers users several advantages over selecting a generic media type. It allows the following information to be built into the media type file:

  • Paper Feed Adjustment (especially important with canvas)
  • Roll paper settings like automatic cutting, drying time and borderless printing
  • Ink limits, vaccum strength and head height (all important in telling the printer how to lay down ink)

In the videos below you will learn how to import custom media types with the Canon Media Configuration Tool using a PC and Mac. If you have any questions about this or importing custom media types for other printers, please give us a call…
