Counter Reports Overview
Counter reporting extends Dispatcher Paragon solution with the ability to collect device page meters.

Green (Purged Pages) Reports Overview
Green reporting tracks pages which have not been released, i.e. physically printed out. Sometimes, it is referred to as "purged print jobs". The green report can be displayed in management interface, tab Reports or as a system widget on Dashboard.
The green report shows the number of print job pages that were received by Dispatcher Paragon but never printed, represent volume of costs saved by Rule-based Engine and printing impact to the environment. The reported data are shown as a number of trees used for consumed paper, volume of CO2 produced by creating consumed paper (information is only approximate, based on publicly available algorithms).
Dispatcher Paragon also tracks and reports related costs for pages that have been forced to be printed in monochrome or duplex.
Dependencies
Print roaming or Rule-based Engine must be configured.
Purge Pages functions reports depends also on print job parser settings:
if parser is enabled - you can specify the price of a particular page type
if parser is disabled - you can specify the average count of pages for every non-printed job. These jobs will be counted as A4 B/W jobs according to the settings for Green report jobs with the parser enabled
