Network Accounting

Network Accounting allows you to manage printer usage with detailed cost analysis
capabilities. Print, Scan, Fax, and Copy jobs are tracked at the printer and stored in a
job log. All jobs require authentication of User ID and Account ID, which are logged with
the job details in the job log. The user is prompted for accounting information when
submitting a job to the printer.

The job log information can be compiled at the accounting server and formatted into
reports.

Before you begin:

• Install and configure Xerox certified network accounting software on your network.

Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for help.

• Test communication between the accounting server and the printer. To do this, open

a Web browser, type the IP Address of the printer in the address bar, then click Enter.
The printer's CentreWare Internet Services home page should display.

• Install print drivers on all user computers if you want to track print and LAN Fax jobs.
