Printer management

After your printer is up and running on the network, you can take advantage of
the following features that aid you in managing your printer over the network:

Job accounting.

The printer stores a log file containing information

about jobs printed. The file is a list of job accounting records. Each
record contains fields such as user name, job name, pages printed, job
times, and toner used. Job accounting is available through the
PhaserShare Administrator and PhaserLink software.

Email notification.

PhaserLink software provides email notification,

which allows the printer to automatically send email to the system
administrator and others when the printer requires attention (for
example, when printer errors, warnings, and alerts occur, or when
service is required).

Usage Profile reports.

The printer can generate reports detailing

printer usage. These

Usage Profile reports

include information on many

aspects of printer usage, including ink or toner used, number of pages
printed, and media types used. You can print these reports from the
front panel or PhaserLink, or you can obtain them automatically via
email.

For more information on these features, see the

PhaserShare Networking Manual

on the printer’s CD-ROM.
