Xerox Standard Accounting
Overview
When enabled, Xerox Standard Accounting (XSA) tracks the numbers of Copy, Print, Network Scanning,
E-mail, Server Fax, Internet Fax and Embedded Fax jobs (when these features are installed on the
machine), for each user. Usage limits can also 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 all XSA
data.
XSA is set up through CentreWare Internet Services, the machine's HTTP pages displayed on your web
browser. Administrators must create accounts and specify limits before users are authorized to access
the machine.
When XSA is set up, users must enter their account details at the machine to use the device. When they
have finished their job, their XSA allocation is reduced by the number of prints, copies or scans
performed. When XSA is enabled, users must enter their account details in the printer driver to print
documents from their workstations.
The XSA feature is mutually exclusive from any other accounting feature. If XSA is enabled at the device,
you cannot enable Foreign Device Interface, Auditron or Network Accounting.
Each device supports unique XSA User IDs and Group Accounts.
All user IDs must be assigned to one or more group accounts.
Note: The XSA settings and account data are stored in the machine. It is strongly recommended that
you back up the settings and data regularly using the Cloning hot link available under the XSA folder
of Internet Services as described in this section. Should the machine lose your XSA data and settings
you can restore them from the backup file that you produced by the Cloning process.
Installation Checklist
Before starting the installation procedure, please ensure the following items are available or have been
performed.
1. Ensure that your device is fully functioning on the network.
2. Ensure that the TCP/IP and HTTP protocols are configured on the device and fully functioning. This is
required to access CentreWare Internet Services to configure Xerox Standard Accounting. The
Internet Services function is accessed through the embedded HTTP server on the machine and
allows System Administrators to configure XSA with a web browser.
To verify that the TCP/IP and HTTP protocols are correctly configured, print a Settings List as stated in
the Settings List topic in the Network Connectivity section of this guide.
To configure TCP/IP, refer to the TCP/IP Configuration topic in the NOS Selection section of this guide.
To enable HTTP, refer to the Enable Internet Services (HTTP) topic in the Network Connectivity section
of this guide.
