I assume you mean how to turn off job pipelining. I am thankful
to John for this info. At least for the Tek750, one way to do it
is to use the Web configuration feature. Go into the "settings"
menu, and under "Interfaces", hit "AppSocket". There is a button
for turning job pipelining on or off.
Otherwise I am happier with the detailed accounting info I get
from the eMail feature -- I can justify how I slap costs for the
toner on my users, though I have some problems there with
missing messages. Maybe the methods can be combined for double
checking.
