5 Printer Management

Usage Profile

Usage Profile provides a proactive strategy for service, maintenance, and administration of your printer. You can keep track of most printer parameters in more detail than even PhaserLink provides.

Information in the Usage Profile Report includes:

Remaining life of consumables

Paper versus transparency usage

Percent coverage by job or printer history

Number and location of media jams

Media tray usage

Number of pages printed

Phaser®740 Color Printer

Usage Profile

Print the Usage Profile report from your printer’s front panel; it is located in the

Help Pages menu.

In addition, you can easily arrange electronic mail notification so that your system administrator or supplies ordering agent receives timely information on error conditions or supplies status. This feature allows you to predict consumable ordering for remote locations. Three types of error conditions are reported:

For the designated operator, system administrator or service provider

Toner low

Toner out

Empty media tray

Percentage of toner coverage by job or printer history

For the system administrator

Printer configuration

For the service provider

Error conditions requiring hardware service repair

For detailed information on Usage Profile Reports and email notification, refer to “Printer Management” on the printer’s CD or web site.
