Authentication
Network Accounting
Network Accounting performs account administration using user information managed by a
remote service.
In Network Accounting, the remote server collects job data stored on the machine and
counts up the numbers of pages processed for each user.
User information managed by the remote service is sent to be registered on the machine.
When the user information on the remote service is updated, the updated information must
be sent from the remote service to the machine.
Accounting using Authentication Server
Account administration is performed using a remote authentication server.
In this accounting, the remote server collects job data stored on the machine and counts up
the numbers of pages processed for each user.
The authentication server manages the user's authorization information and obtains
accounting information from a remote server.
ColorTrack
Account administration is performed using the user information and account information
registered on the machine. Also, accounting information is counted using various counters
automatically created for each user. Auditron reports are created in CSV format using Dell
Printer Configuration Web Tool.
For information on driver settings, refer to the help of the driver.
Note • When setting the user information or account information for another machine, we recommend that
you use the Cloning feature of Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool.
