Job Accounting Network Administration Features Job accounting is available through the EWS. 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 EWS 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. Dell 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 the EWS. Using the EWS to Access Job Accounting To access job accounting information using the EWS: 1. Launch your Web browser. 2. Type the printer's IP address in the browser Address field. For details, see Finding the Printer's IP Address on page 13. 3. Click the Jobs tab. The Jobs Accounting Links page is displayed. The Job Accounting Links page provides links that enable you to browse, download, clear, or disable job accounting records. For complete information on the EWS job accounting, including clearing job information, downloading job information to a file, and job accounting file formats, click the Help button in the EWS to view the EWS Online Help.

Job accounting is available through the EWS. 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
EWS 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.
