Using the Embedded Web Server to Access Job Accounting

Job accounting is available through the EWS. The printer stores information about print jobs.
The log file is stored either in the printer's RAM memory or on the hard drive if one is
installed in the printer. Each job record contains fields such as user name, job name, pages
printed, job times, and toner or ink used. Not all fields are supported by all printers. For more
information about the fields supported, go to the EWS Online Help.
The job accounting values reported vary depending on the protocol and print command used
when each job was printed. For example, using NPRINT over NetWare provides the printer
with the most information about the job being printed. When using Windows and NetWare, the
job name is often LST: or LST:BANNER. Other jobs from other ports may provide even less
information about the job.
Dell recommends that a hard drive be used for job accounting.
With a hard drive, the printer can store information about 5000 print jobs. The data in the
log file is saved when the printer is turned off or reset.
Without a hard drive, the printer can store information about the most recent 500 print
jobs. The data in the log file is not saved when the printer is turned off or reset.
Note: Data in job accounting records may be a security risk because the names of users, as
well as the titles, date, time, and length of printed jobs can be exposed. The content of print job
pages is not stored in the job accounting system.
Job accounting can be enabled or disabled through the EWS.
