how to should I use GDI accounting in canon printer

uniFLOW OM version 2.2 support accounting based on GDI (Graphical Device Interface). The advantage of accounting based on GDI is that it is largely driver independent, so in many cases you don’t need to worry if a driver or printer language is supported. An additional advantage is that print jobs can be easily routed between devices with different printer drivers. Disadvantage of GDI accounting is that it does not give the complete level of detail, it detects however, most of the important attributes of print jobs: number of pages, number of copies, page format, page size, simplex/duplex, colour / black & white. So the choice for GDI compared to other accounting methods should always be the result of careful consideration.

Some Canon drivers appear to cause problems when GDI Accounting is used. After elaborate testing on our side we have come to the conclusion that various printer driver options, especially finishing options, in some Canon drivers will cause GDI accounting to fail. Because it differs from driver to driver exactly which special finishing options are responsible for this behaviour, you should refer to our Compatibility List for an in-dept analysis of several printer driver families.

For more information and a detailed description of how to use GDI Accounting in uniFLOW OM, please refer to the uniFLOW OM User Manual.

Please note, that GDI accounting is not that detailed as PS, PCL or CPCA accounting. So please only use GDI accounting in those cases, in which a normal accounting is not possible or fails, for example with CAPT, GARO or UFR II drivers.
