Job Accounting
Job accounting is available through CentreWare IS. The printer stores information about print jobs. The 
log file is stored either in the printer’s RAM memory or on the hard drive if one is installed in the printer. 
Each job record contains fields such as user name, job name, pages printed, job times, and toner or ink 
used. Not all fields are supported by all printers. For more information about the fields supported, go to 
the CentreWare IS Online Help.
The job accounting values reported vary depending on the protocol and print command used when 
each job was printed. For example, using NPRINT over NetWare provides the printer with the most 
information about the job being printed. When using Windows and NetWare, the job name is often 
LST: or LST:BANNER. Other jobs from other ports may provide even less information about the job.
Xerox recommends that a hard drive be used for job accounting.
With a hard drive, the printer can store information about 5000 print jobs. The data in the log file 
is saved when the printer is turned off or reset.
Without a hard drive, the printer can store information about the most recent 500 print jobs. The 
data in the log file is not saved when the printer is turned off or reset. 
Note:
Data in job accounting records may be a security risk because the names of users, as well as 
the titles, date, time, and length of printed jobs can be exposed. The content of print job pages is 
not stored in the job accounting system. 
Job accounting can be enabled or disabled through CentreWare IS.
