Xerox Usage Analysis Tool
The Xerox Usage Analysis Tool (UAT) enables you to collect and analyze enterprise-wide
Xerox network printer usage data with customizable features:
■ Cost Analysis: Track printing costs by groups of users or by groups of printers.
■ Print Job Analysis: Analyze print jobs to review media type, color coverage, paper
source, and other job specifics. Plan your next consumable order based on prior usage.
■ Printer Usage Analysis: Track printer usage patterns to identify printers that are
underworked or overused.
■ Reports: Collect and present printer data in a number of formats with complete
transaction and summary reports designed for Excel or other custom billing systems.
Note: Job accounting is enabled by default in the printer for the Usage Analysis Tool to be
used. If job accounting is disabled, there are no records created in order for the Usage Analysis
tool to function.
To ensure job accounting is enabled:
1. Launch your web browser.
2. Enter the printer’s IP address in your browser’s Address field.
3. Click Properties.
4. Select the Security folder on the left navigation panel.
5. Select Printer Security Settings.
6. In the Job Accounting Record field ensure the box Enabled is checked.
