User's Manual

When you have completed the above steps, the printer will send accounting data by email with the frequency
that you specified. The data are provided in XML and can easily be interpreted by a third-party program. The
data provided on each print job include when the job was submitted, when the job was printed, the printing
time, the type of image, the number of pages, the number of copies, the paper type and size, the amount of
each color of ink used and various other attributes of the job. Accounting data are also provided on scan and
copy jobs.
You can download an Excel template from HP's Web site (
http://www.hp.com/go/designjet/accounting) that
will enable you to display the XML data more readably in the form of a spreadsheet.
Analysis of the accounting data will enable you to bill customers precisely and flexibly for the use of your
printer. You can, for instance:
●
Bill each customer for the total amount of ink and paper used by that customer over a particular period.
●
Bill each customer separately per job.
●
Bill each customer separately for each project, broken down by job.
NOTE: In some circumstances Excel may lose or misplace the decimal point in a number: for instance, the
number 5.1806 may be misunderstood as 51806 and displayed as 51,806. This is an Excel problem that
cannot be solved by HP.
