Network Accounting
Network Accounting provides the ability to manage usage of the device with detailed cost analysis
capabilities. Print, Scan, Fax, and Copy jobs are tracked at the device and stored in a job log. Jobs require an
authentication of User ID and Account ID and this information is logged with the job details in the job log.
The device requires the Network Accounting Kit to be installed and network access to a Xerox certified
Network Accounting third party software solution. Refer to your Xerox Sales Representative for further
information.
CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers are required to be installed on workstations. The user is prompted for
accounting information when submitting jobs to the device.
The job log information can be compiled at the accounting server and formatted into reports.
