Plot and Publish log files do not show number of copies

[dfarris75]

The plot and publish log file doesn't seem to show the number of copies printed when making multiple prints from a sheet set. Am I missing something???
Is there a way to get it to show the number of copies? I'm looking for a log to use for billing purposes and it needs to show this information...

What are your settings for them at the moment. And where are you storeing your log file?

Another possibility (I now it works for HP plotters) you can do is to go to the plotter by his IP and yhen you also can take the liste of paper usage, ink usage, ... and this for each plot.

What settings?
I just changed my log file location yesterday from my local default folder to a folder on our network.

We do have this for our new XEROX printer, but according to our book keeper it isn't keeping an accurate record, so since she is using it for billing I looked into using the AutoCAD plot log file instead and that's when I noticed it did not show the number of copies of the sheet set I had just published. It just listed one set rather than 18 sets (of 10 sheets).

Ok, I don't know the xerox machines, but the HP here does the trick. In the attached file you can see in what for detail.

And with the command VIEWPLOTDETAILS, you can see the number of the pages. This is for 2006, don't now if it works for older versions...
