Network Accounting
Network Accounting allows you to manage printer usage with detailed cost analysis capabilities. Print
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 press Enter. The printer’s
CentreWare Internet Services home page should display.
• Install print drivers on all user computers if you want to track print jobs.
