Network Accounting

Network Accounting allows you to manage printer usage with detailed cost analysis capabilities. Print,
scan, fax, and copy jobs are tracked at the printer and stored in a job log. All jobs require authentication
of User ID and Account ID, which are logged with the job details in the job log. Users are prompted for
accounting information when submitting jobs to the printer.
You can compile the accounting server job log information and format it into reports.
Before you begin:
• Install and configure Xerox
manufacturer instructions for help.
• Test communication between the accounting server and the printer. Open a Web browser, type the
IP Address of the printer in the address bar, then press Enter. The printer Xerox
Internet Services home page appears.
• To track print and LAN Fax jobs, install print drivers on all user computers.
