The reporting function of PrinterMap consists of a Reporting Service responsible for polling managed printers for reporting data, the means to configure the polling rates for the Reporting Service, and a mechanism for allowing users to generate reports from collected data. Reporting Service The PrinterMap report polling service (Reporting Service) periodically queries all managed printers on the network. Each printer provides information toner levels and lifetime impression count. This information is written to data files and used to generate reports. NOTE: PrinterMap services write printer information to the hard drive during polling operations. Norton Speed Disk and other disk defragmenting tools may have difficulty operating during hard drive updates. If this occurs, temporarily stop the Reporting and Status services until defragmenting is completed. Disabling Reporting The reporting function of PrinterMap can be disabled from the reporting configuration window. When installing PrinterMap and disabling the Reporting Option, it is best done before running the Discover process for the first time. Discover allocates significant space for each managed printer to support the Reporting Option. By disabling the Reporting Option prior to running the Discover process, space allocation is bypassed.

PrinterMap User Guide
61
The reporting function of PrinterMap consists of a Reporting Service responsible
for polling managed printers for reporting data, the means to configure the polling
rates for the Reporting Service, and a mechanism for allowing users to generate
reports from collected data.
Reporting Service
The PrinterMap report polling service (Reporting Service) periodically queries all
managed printers on the network. Each printer provides information toner levels
and lifetime impression count. This information is written to data files and used to
generate reports.
NOTE:
PrinterMap services write printer information to the hard drive during
polling operations. Norton Speed Disk and other disk defragmenting
tools may have difficulty operating during hard drive updates. If this
occurs, temporarily stop the Reporting and Status services until
defragmenting is completed.
Disabling Reporting
The reporting function of PrinterMap can be disabled from the reporting
configuration window. When installing PrinterMap and disabling the Reporting
Option, it is best done before running the Discover process for the first time.
Discover allocates significant space for each managed printer to support the
Reporting Option. By disabling the Reporting Option prior to running the
Discover process, space allocation is bypassed.
