Abstract
An auditron system is provided for a multifunctional printing system including a printing machine with a plurality of document processing services, the auditron system includes a user interface and a programmable auditron subsystem communicating with the user interface and printing machine. The auditron subsystem is responsive to input at the user interface and the input causes the auditron subsystem to be disposed in one of a plurality of modes relative to one of the plurality of document processing services. When the programmable auditron subsystem is disposed in a first one of a plurality of modes, an accounting of each document processing operation performed relative to the one of the plurality of document processing services is maintained on a mandatory basis, and when the programmable auditron subsystem is disposed in a second one of the plurality of modes, accounting of each document processing operation performed relative to the one of the plurality of document processing services is maintained selectively in accordance with user demand.
