Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enhanced data collection for a print system. One embodiment includes a printer terminal device that retrieves historical values of print material usage of previous print jobs that correspond with a print job, determines an estimate value range of print material usage for the print job based on the historical values, and presents a Graphical User Interface (GUI) at a display of the printer terminal device to receive user input of a current value of print material usage for the print job. In response to determining that the current value of print material usage is outside the estimate value range, the printer terminal device displays at the GUI a prompt for user input to validate that the current value is abnormal, and, if validated, provides the current value to the print job database to update the historical values of print material usage.
