Xerox Usage Analysis Tool

The Xerox Usage Analysis Tool is a Windows client/server application that allows system 
administrators to automatically track Xerox printer usage and obtain job accounting 
records. The tool supports large networks, with many users and printers.

Job accounting and printer usage data is stored in a database. The application can be run 
on multiple clients using a single server. The data can be exported to a spreadsheet for 
viewing, analysis, and billing.

Complete information on using the Usage Analysis Tool is provided by the application’s 
online Help system.
