Usage Profile Reports

Usage Profile reports provide information on many aspects of printer usage gathered during the
life of the printer.

Usage Profile reports track multiple items, including:

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

Supplies usage data, such as toner or ink. By tracking supplies usage, you can order
supplies before they reach their end of life.

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.

The reports are accessible through the EWS. From the Usage Profile Properties page, you can
view or print a report, and also send it to an email address or to users who are specified in the
page.
