The printer logs information of each print, copy or scan. In addition the printer can enforce the user to provide accounting data for each print, copy and scan.
This data is stored in a .csv file. The printer creates each day a new file and can store data for up to 99 days.
WebTools Express has a number of settings to configure account management.
The account information requirements are defined and managed by the administrator.
Open the [Preferences] - [System defaults] tab, and under [Job management] enable the [Force entry of accounting data for print jobs] or [Force entry of accounting data for copy and scan jobs]. Then define the settings for accounting under [Accounting log].
