Overview

Network Accounting provides the ability to manage usage of the machine with detailed cost
analysis capabilities. Print, Scan, Server Fax, and copy jobs are tracked at the machine and
stored in a job log. Users must enter their accounting IDs to access the machine, which
allows information about the jobs performed as recorded in a job log.
The machine requires the Feature Enablement Key to be inserted and network access to a
Xerox-certified Network Accounting third party software solution. Refer to your Xerox Sales
Representative for further information.
CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers are required to be installed on workstations. The User is
