Usage Proﬁle reports (Phaser 840, 740 and 780 printers only)

The printer can generate reports detailing printer usage. These Usage Proﬁle reports include information on many aspects of printer usage, including such items as ink or toner used, number of pages printed, and media types used. You can get these reports four ways:

■Print reports from the printer’s front panel. You can print out reports from the printer’s front panel. See the next topic, “Printing Usage Proﬁle reports from the front panel”.

■Print reports from PhaserLink Printer Management Software. You can print out reports from the View and Conﬁgure Settings page. See “Printing Usage Proﬁle reports from PhaserLink Printer Management Software” on page 134.

■Send reports via email from the front panel. You can send reports by email from the front panel. See “Sending Usage Proﬁle reports via email from the front panel” on page 134.

■Send reports via email automatically. Using the PhaserLink Printer Management Software status notiﬁcation (email notiﬁcation) feature, the printer can send reports by email automatically. You can control the conditions under which reports are sent out, and you can control who receives reports. See “Controlling Usage Proﬁle email reporting” on page 137.

Usage proﬁle reports track over 160 individual printer parameters. With Usage

Proﬁle reports, you can gain valuable information such as:

■Unique printer information, such as printer name, date installed, total pages printed, options installed, and network ID.

■Consumables usage data (for example, toner or ink). By tracking consumables usage, you can order supplies in advance, so your printer will always be well-stocked with supplies.

■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.

Xerox has long been a pioneer in the field of printing and copying technology, and its 360, 780, and 840 models exemplify the groundbreaking advancements made by the company in the late 20th century. These machines are significant not just for their capabilities but also for how they transformed workplaces into efficient hubs for document management.

The Xerox 360, introduced in the 1970s, was notable for its innovative use of electrostatic transfer technology. This method allowed for the rapid and high-quality reproduction of documents, setting a new standard for both speed and clarity. With a printing speed of up to 120 copies per minute, the 360 was designed for high-volume environments, making it ideal for businesses that required efficient document distribution. Its ability to handle different media types, including transparencies, further expanded its utility.

Moving on to the Xerox 780, released shortly after the 360, this model built upon its predecessor's success by introducing additional features that catered to the evolving needs of users. One of the key advancements in the 780 was its ability to incorporate advanced finishing options, such as stapling and hole-punching, directly from the machine. This integration streamlined document production processes, reducing the need for manual tasks and enhancing workflow efficiency. The Xerox 780’s intelligent control panel also provided users with easy navigation and troubleshooting, minimizing downtime.

The Xerox 840 took another leap forward, focusing on integrating digital technology into the printing process. Introduced in the early 1980s, this model featured enhanced digital image processing capabilities, resulting in superior image quality and consistency. The 840 also supported duplex printing, allowing for automatic double-sided copies, which not only saved paper but also demonstrated a commitment to sustainability practices as environmental concerns began to rise. The combination of these features made the 840 particularly well-suited for corporate environments where document quality and efficiency were paramount.

Overall, the Xerox 360, 780, and 840 series were landmark achievements in photocopying technology. Their advanced features, such as high-speed output, diverse media handling, and enhanced finishing options, established Xerox as a leader in the industry. These machines not only improved productivity but also set a precedent for future innovations, influencing the trajectory of printing technology for years to come. As businesses continue to evolve, the foundational technologies pioneered by these models remain integral to modern document management solutions.
