Configuring PAS desktop printers
3.7 Configuring PAS desktop printers
During the automated install, the system creates a support direc-
tory on the accounting server. This directory contains the files nec-
essary to install monitored desktop printers on your network 
workstations:
C:\Program Files\Software Metrics\Printer Accounting Server\DesktopMonitor
Installing desktop printing on Windows NT clients requires administra-
tive privileges.
Configure a desktop printer on a network workstation
1.  On the accounting server, share the DesktopMonitor direc-
tory. 
Use a share name of 12 characters or less for Win9x clients.
2.  Assign a default price for desktop printers. In the System 
Manager tree view, select 
Desktop printers
 beneath 
Accounting 
Server
. In the right pane, double-click 
<default>
 in the 
Work-
station
 list. In the second group box, enter the per-page 
price that will be assigned by default to each added desktop 
printer. 
3.  On the client, ensure that there is a logical printer definition 
set up to use LPT1:.
4.  On the client, browse to the appropriate DesktopMonitor 
support directory—Intel\Win9x or Intel\WinNT—for the work-
station platform.
5.  From the appropriate directory, run InstallDesktopPrinting.exe. 
Click 
OK
 to proceed.
6.  In the subsequent dialog, enter the Windows NT network 
name of the accounting server and click 
OK
. Follow the 
setup screens.
7.  Print a test page to the desktop printer.

The printer is not registered in the PAS database until you 
print this page.
8.  In the System Manager tree view, select 
Desktop Printers
 
beneath the 
Accounting Server
 node.
The desktop printer appears in the list in the right pane with 
the assigned default price-per-page. To assign a different 
per-page price, select the printer from the list and click 
Mod-
ify
.
To install the Desktop Print Monitor on other workstations, com-
plete steps 3 through 7. Remove the share on the accounting 
server. 
3.8 Configuring NTS Services
NTS Services manage your network’s XCP NTS devices. These 
devices function as vending mechanisms for networked copiers 
and printers. NTS Services enable the PAS database to track secure 
printing from NTS devices. NTS devices can be used for two pur-
poses—copier control and document control.
Copier control
Copier control requires one NTS device for each copier, plus the 
following components installed on the accounting server:
• NTS Data Server
• NTS Controller
Document control
Document control requires the following components installed on 
the accounting server:
• NTS Data Server
• NTS Controller

Configuring NTS Services
Note: The NTS Controller may reside on either the local or a remote 
print server.
The SDR add-on, including the Queue Module, must reside on the 
print server. You may control access to more than one printer with 
a single NTS device. 
3.8.1 Configuring NTS server components
NTS server components control device behavior and IP settings. 
Note: You must install the NTS Data Server service and the Accounting 
Server service on the same computer. 
Configure NTS Services
These settings are global to all NTS devices on your network. 
Configure these services in the NTS controller configuration 
page, illustrated in figure 3-2.

.
2.  In the right pane, specify the user identification sequence in 
the first group box.
3.  If your users identify themselves with cards at the transac-
tion station, indicate the position of the relevant stripe data 
in the 
Magnetic card setup
 group box.
4.  Change other default parameters as necessary.
