TCP/IP Accounting and
Reverse Channel
The qef Command
The QMS qef command allows you to manage TCP/IP accounting
and reverse channel information.
» Note:
TCP/IP accounting/reverse channel is available only on some
printers. The QMS CrownNet interface determines if the motherboard
supports this feature.
Syntax
To use the qef command, type
qef
options ↵
where
options is replaced by the appropriate options from the follow-
ing table.
Options
The following options are available for the QMS qef command.
-a Enables an “alternative” format for the status messages
appearing in the log files. This format consists of a string of
numbers that identify the date, as well as a more
standardized format for the status field and printer error
messages. Selecting this option automatically enables the -r
option.
-b
revchanjob Indicates the filename to be used for storing reverse channel
information for the most recent job. This file is overwritten on
a job-by-job basis. revchanjob may be the same name as
jobfile , allowing you to keep the accounting job information
and the reverse channel job information in the same file.
Omission of this flag and argument indicates that the
revchanjob file will not be built. If both this flag and the -B
flag are omitted, no reverse channel information is logged.
