Xerox Usage Analysis Tool

The Xerox Usage Analysis Tool is a Windows client/server application that allows system administrators to automatically track Xerox printer usage and obtain job accounting records. The tool supports large networks, with many users and printers.

Job accounting and printer usage data is stored in a database. The application can be run on multiple clients using a single server. The data can be exported to a spreadsheet for viewing, analysis, and billing.
