Xerox Standard Accounting
Xerox Standard Accounting (XSA) tracks the number of copy, print, scan, and fax jobs for each user. You
can set limits to restrict the total number of jobs by type that a user can produce. You can then
generate reports listing usage data for individual users and groups.
When XSA is enabled, users must log in to the printer before accessing services. They must also provide
their account details in the print driver before printing documents from a computer.
Note: If XSA is enabled, you cannot enable other accounting modes.
You can create a maximum of:
• 2499 unique XSA user IDs
• 500 General Accounts
• 499 Group Accounts
All user IDs must be assigned to one or more group accounts.
Note: XSA settings and account data are stored in the printer. Xerox recommends that you back-
up settings using the Cloning feature. If XSA settings are lost or deleted, you can restore them
using the cloning backup file. For details, see Cloning on page 161.
Before you begin:
• Install Print and Fax Drivers on all user computers.
