Network Accounting
Network Accounting allows you to manage printer usage with detailed cost analysis capabilities. Print,
scan, Internet fax, server 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.
The job log information can be compiled at the accounting server and formatted into reports.
Before you begin:
• Install and configure Xerox
®
certified network accounting software on your network. Refer to the
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 CentreWare Internet
Services home page appears.
• Install print drivers on all user computers if you want to track print and LAN Fax jobs.
