Xerox 840 User Manual

The printer can generate reports detailing printer usage.  These Usage Profile reports 
include information on many aspects of printer usage, including such items as ink or 
toner used, number of pages printed, and media types used.  You can get these 
reports four ways:

■

  You can print out reports 

from the printer’s front panel.  See the next topic, “Printing Usage Profile 
reports from the front panel”.  

■

  You can 

print out reports from the View and Configure Settings page.  See 
“Printing Usage Profile reports from PhaserLink Printer Management 
Software” on page 134.  

■

  You can send reports by 

email from the front panel. See “Sending Usage Profile reports via email 
from the front panel” on page 134.

■

  Using the PhaserLink Printer 

Management Software status notification (email notification) feature, the 
printer can send reports by email automatically.  You can control the 
conditions under which reports are sent out, and you can control who 
receives reports.  See “Controlling Usage Profile email reporting” on 
page 137.

Usage profile reports track over 160 individual printer parameters.  With Usage 
Profile reports, you can gain valuable information such as:

■

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

■

Consumables usage data  (for example, toner or ink).  By tracking 
consumables usage, you can order supplies in advance, so your printer will 
always be well-stocked with supplies.

■

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.
