When using Web Image Monitor to manage logs, download the logs at an interval appropriate to the
conditions in the table.
Maximum number of logs that can be stored in the printer
Log types HDD installed HDD not installed
Job logs 4000 500
Access logs 12000 500
Eco-friendly logs 4000 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 printer 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.
Manage downloaded log files appropriately under the responsibility of the machine administrator.
• If you change the [Collect] / [Do not Collect] setting for log collection, you must perform a batch
deletion of the logs.
•
After downloading the logs, perform a batch deletion of the logs.
• Batch deletion of logs can be performed from the control panel or through Web Image Monitor.
• During log downloads, do not perform operations that will create log entries, as logs that are in the
process of downloading cannot be updated with new entries.
Notes on Operation When the Number of Log Entries Reaches Maximum
If the number of logs that can be stored on the printer exceeds the specified maximum limit, old logs are
overwritten by new logs. The maximum number of logs that can be stored is defined for each of the
following: the job log, access log and eco-friendly log.
