The MFP/LP does not allow any changes to be made to the log data itself, i.e. the data can only be
transferred to Web SmartDeviceMonitor Professional IS in an unaltered, encrypted state. Therefore,
the data cannot be overwritten or modified in any way, even by those with administrator-level access
rights.
When the log reaches its capacity, the oldest entries are then overwritten one by one by each new
entry. To ensure that this data is not lost, it must be sent to Web SmartDeviceMonitor Professional IS
before it is overwritten. As mentioned above, the MFP/LP sends the data to Web SmartDeviceMonitor
Professional IS only when an operational or access event has occurred.
Note: With MFP/LPs that do not have an HDD installed, the log data is stored in volatile RAM. The
data is therefore erased when the MFP/LP main power is turned off. In addition, since the RAM
capacity is not as large as that of the log area in the HDD, the oldest log entries will be
overwritten sooner.
With the exception of print jobs, it is possible to enable or disable the creation of a log entry for each
event shown in the table below. There is also an enable/disable setting that applies to all of these
events at once.
Note: For details on which specific log items are accessible by Machine Administrators, see the
Operator’s Manual for Web SmartDeviceMonitor Professional IS.
Event/Data Logged Level 1 Level 2
Only create log entries for
events or data critical to log
operations, such as changes
in the log settings or deletion
of log entries.
Create log entries for all
events and data that can be
logged.
Note: This can provide
valuable information for the
purpose of data security
management, as well as for
the analysis of any machine
failures that may occur.
