Reading Usage Profile reports

Two types of reports are available:

■Full report. The full report contains detailed printer usage information for all jobs printed during the life of the printer.

■Job report. The job report contains information on the last printed job. This report can only be emailed; it cannot be printed from the front panel, because printing it creates a new job that overwrites the report data. The job report is useful in environments where billing for each print job is required.

Full report format

The full report contains only those fields that have non-zero values.

Email report format

Email reports are full reports encoded into a format that uses numbers for most of the data. The encoding makes the email messages shorter and protects the security of the data in transit. Most importantly, the encoding makes it easier to import the data into a spreadsheet for analysis and charting. You can print out a verbose full report that contains all fields, even those with zero values. This report can be used as a guide to interpret the email report. See “Printing verbose Usage Profile reports from the front panel” on page 133.

It is possible to send email reports that have the fields labeled, similar to the printed reports (for details see “Specifying when reports are to be sent and specifying the report format” on page 137). However, these reports contain only those fields that have non-zero values.
