Black ink usage

Shows the amount of black ink, in milliliters, used to print the job on a Ricoh TotalFlow printer.
Database name
Job.Ink.Black
Usage notes:
  • The Ricoh TotalFlow printer sends the ink usage information to RICOH ProcessDirector when the job finishes printing or is canceled.

    When you print the job again, RICOH ProcessDirector clears the value in the Black ink usage field. Then RICOH ProcessDirector shows the new ink usage information sent by the Ricoh TotalFlow printer.

    The Cumulative black ink usage property shows the amount of ink used to print the job, including all reprints. To calculate this value for the job, RICOH ProcessDirector adds all the ink usage information sent by the Ricoh TotalFlow printer.

  • Only some models of Ricoh TotalFlow printers send ink usage information to RICOH ProcessDirector. When another printer prints the job, this property does not have a value.
