Configuring data collectors

6.1 HP Access Control (HP AC) Agent

The HP Access Control (HP AC) Agent allows you to capture data directly from a network printer, and

functions even if the HP Access Control (HP AC) Job Accounting print server direct tracking module is not

installed. For more information and instructions to configure HP Access Control (HP AC) Agent, see the HP

Access Control (HP AC) Agent Administrator Guide.

6.2 HP Statistics

HP Statistics is a method of capturing data directly from an HP FutureSmart printer.

NOTE:

All HP FutureSmart device administrator user names and passwords must match the Device

administrator user name and password in the HP Access Control (HP AC) tool. Go to the Settings tile > Device

tab of the HP Access Control (HP AC) tool to enter the Device administrator user name and password.
To select what device information you want to display in HP Access Control (HP AC) Job Accounting reports,

go to the Settings tile > Device tab.

●

Select Device name to display the device names in job accounting reports.

●

Select Network name to display the host names of devices in job accounting reports. Make sure the Get

community name is entered in the SNMP section to be able to read the network/host names of devices.
Click Apply.

To configure an HP FutureSmart device for tracking, follow the steps below:

Go to the Devices tile.

Select the HP FutureSmart device from the device list, then click Configure.

Select Tracking. Click OK. An X displays under the Tracking column, indicating the HP FutureSmart

device is configured for tracking.

When multiple FutureSmart devices of the same model have the same device name, only one device is

reported in Job Accounting. Therefore, devices of the same model must have unique device names for correct

tracking. To change the device's name to be the device's host name, follow the steps below:

Go to the Networking > TCP/IP Settings > Network Identification page of the device EWS to determine

the Host Name of the device.
