Some important things to know about the Argos OnBoard for Ricoh

All of the copies you create in one login session will be billed as the same job. If you are planning on billing multiple customers, you should log out between jobs.
Jobs on a Ricoh are tracked by the internal job counter. All paper sizes up to 8.5 x 14 increment the counter by one click, while 11 x 17 paper increments the counter by two clicks. Each click is viewed in Argos as a single sheet of Letter sized paper, so printing a single copy with Tabloid sized paper will be reported as two pages of Letter paper.
Ricoh's proprietary RPCS driver format is not supported by Argos for accurate tracking. The Ricoh PS and PCL6 drivers offer the same functionality and are supported by Argos.
