Overview

Xerox Standard Accounting (XSA) tracks the numbers of prints, copies, faxes and network images sent at the machine. Usage limits can be applied to Users to restrict the total numbers of copy, print, fax and scan jobs that a User can perform. Administrators can print a report which contains XSA data.

XSA is set up via CentreWare Internet Services, the machine's embedded web browser. Administrators must create accounts and specify limits before Users are authorized to access the machine.

Individual accounts created can be grouped into a group account. This allows one account with several individual users having access to the same account. The Administrator can view the group usage.

All impressions or scans created when a User is logged in to a General Account are counted only against that account and not against the User’s individual account.

When XSA is set up, users must enter their account details at the machine to use the machine. When they have finished their job, their XSA allocation is reduced by the number
