Analyzing Printer Usage
Usage Profile Reports
The printer generates reports accessible through the Embedded Web Server that detail device usage. Usage profile reports track multiple items, including:
■Printer information, such as printer name, date installed, total pages printed, options installed, and network ID.
■Supplies usage data, such as toner or ink. By tracking supplies usage, you can order supplies before they reach their end of life.
■Media and tray information, such as how often prints are made on paper compared to transparencies, and how often each tray is used.
■Job characteristics, such as size and timing of jobs.
To set up usage profile reporting:
1.Launch your web browser.
2.Enter the printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.
3.Select Jobs.
4.On the left navigation panel, select Usage Profile Reports.
5.Click the Usage Profile Properties link. Follow the instructions on the page to set up reports.
6.Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen.
