application that supports UTF-8.

Number of Logs That Can Be Kept on the Machine
When the maximum number of job log, access log or eco-friendly log that can be kept on the machine is
exceeded and new logs are generated, old logs are overwritten by new ones. If the logs are not
downloaded periodically, it may not be possible to record the old logs onto files.
When using Web Image Monitor to manage logs, download the logs at an interval appropriate to the
conditions in the table.
After downloading the logs, perform a batch deletion of the logs.
If you change the [Collect] / [Do not Collect] setting for log collection, you must perform a batch
deletion of the logs.
Maximum number of logs that can be stored in the machine
Log types Maximum number of logs
Job logs 4000
Access logs 12000
Eco-friendly logs 4000
If your machine does not have the HDD as standard and the optional HDD is not installed, the
maximum number of eco-friendly logs that can be stored in the machine is 500.
Estimated number of logs created per day
Log types Number of logs created per day
Job logs 100
Access logs 300
This number is based on 100 operations such as initialization and
access operations over the Web, and 200 job entries (two entries per
job: one login and one logout).
Eco-friendly logs 100
According to these conditions, the machine can maintain logs for 40 days without overwriting, but to be
cautious, we recommend downloading after half that time, 20 days, to leave room for error.
