Abstract
A method and system for auditing security stock usage including displaying one or more data on a graphical user interface (GUI); extracting a first set of information into a first log file from the one or more data displayed on the GUI; commencing a print run on a printer; extracting a second set of information into a second log file after the print run terminates; and determining a number of sheets of security stock used from the first log file and the second log file.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method for auditing security stock usage, the method comprising:
- displaying, by a computing device, one or more data on a graphical user interface (GUI);
- extracting, by said computing device, a first set of information into a first log file from the one or more data displayed on the GUI;
- commencing a print run on a printer;
- extracting, by said computing device, a second set of information into a second log file after the print run terminates;
- determining, by said computing device, a number of sheets of security stock used from the first log file and the second log file;
- and
- the first set of information includes first values of the one or more data, the first values being current count numbers for a number of printer modules.
A system for auditing security stock usage, the system comprising:
- a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying one or more data;
- a first log file including a first set of information extracted from the one or more data displayed on the GUI;
- a printer for receiving a print run;
- a second log file including a second set of information extracted from the one or more data displayed on the GUI after the print run terminates;
- a tracking mechanism for determining a number of sheets of security stock used from the first log file and the second log file;
- and
- the first set of information includes first values of the one or more data, the first values being current count numbers for a number of printer modules.
A non-transitory computer program product for auditing security stock usage, the computer program product comprising:
- a storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for facilitating a method comprising:
- displaying one or more data on a graphical user interface (GUI);
- extracting a first set of information into a first log file from the one or more data displayed on the GUI;
- commencing a print run on a printer;
- extracting a second set of information into a second log file after the print run terminates;
- and
- determining a number of sheets of security stock used from the first log file and the second log file.
