Xerox Standard Accounting
Overview
When enabled, Xerox Standard Accounting (XSA) tracks the numbers of Copy, Print,
Network Scanning, E-mail, Internet Fax and Fax jobs (when these features are installed
on the machine), for each user. Usage limits can also be applied to users to restrict the
total numbers of copy, print, fax and scan jobs that a user can perform. Administrators
can print a report which contains all XSA data.
XSA is set up through CentreWare Internet Services, the machine's HTTP pages
displayed on your web browser. Administrators must create accounts and specify limits
before users are authorized to access the machine.
When XSA is set up, users must enter their account details at the machine to use the
device. When they have finished their job, their XSA allocation is reduced by the
number of prints, copies or scans performed. When XSA is enabled, users must enter
their account details in the print driver to print documents from their computers.
The XSA feature is mutually exclusive from any other accounting feature. If XSA is
enabled at the device, the following applies:
