Analyzing Printer Usage
Usage Profile Reports
The printer generates reports accessible through CentreWare IS 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.
