# How to override Lyra and do simple costing

How can we modify an existing installation to show simple costing (e.g. $0.50 color, $0.25 B/W) instead of the Lyra costing?

---

To override the Lyra costing, run the following SQL statements (using Query Analyzer) on the system:

use psbprint

update models set MOMEC = 0.00, MOMMC = 0.00, MOSCPPBW = 0.24, MOSCPPC = 0.49

Explanation :

Setting MOMEC to 0.00, sets the Equipment cost to zero

Setting MOMMC to 0.00, sets the Maintenance cost to zero

Setting MOSCPPBW forces all models for Black & White prints to be set to $0.24

Setting MOSCPPC forces all models for Color prints to be set to $0.49

The default paper cost is $0.01 so setting the prints to one cent less than you want to charge will accomplish the request.

Blueprint checks the device for cost overrides, then the models database, then the Lyra database. So, by updating all models to a simple costing, you bypass or override the Lyra database.
