At each PACER login screen there is client code field for users to enter a client billing number of their choosing. Client codes are thirty-two character text fields provided for tracking charges. Each billing transaction will be recorded with the client code entered by the user. The user can then determine the amount of charges attributable to each client code by using the report options on this website.

By default the client code is optional. It is possible to make the client code field mandatory; users must enter a client code before they are able to successfully login to PACER. In addition the format of the required client code can be designated while setting the preference.

1. We use a formula to determine the number of pages for an HTML formatted report.
2. Any information extracted from the CM/ECF database, such as the data used to create a docket sheet, is billed using a formula based on the number of bytes extracted (4320 Bytes equals one page).
3. For a PDF document, the actual number of pages are counted to determine the number of billable pages.

For report data retrieved from the CM/ECF system that is printed, the print job will not always match the number of pages billed. The number of pages printed is dependent on individual printer and browser settings. All users are charged equally for the same information regardless of the browser settings or printer configurations.
