7. Managing the Printer
This chapter describes the functions for enhancing the security of the printer and operating the printer
effectively.
Managing Log Files
Collecting the logs stored in this printer allows you to track detailed data on access to the printer, user
identities, usage of the printer's various functions, and error histories.
The logs can be deleted periodically to make hard disk space available, and they can be encrypted to
prevent leaking of information.
The logs can be viewed using Web Image Monitor or using the log collection server. Collected logs can
be converted to CSV files and downloaded all at once. They cannot be read directly from the hard disk.
Log types
Three types of logs are stored on this printer: the job log, access log, and eco-friendly log.
• Job Log
Stores details of printing, and control panel operations such as printing reports (the
configuration list, for example).
• Access Log
Stores details of login/logout activities, service engineer operations such as hard disk
formatting, system operations such as viewing log transfer results, and security operations
such as specifying settings for encryption, unprivileged access detection, user lockout, and
firmware authentication.
• Eco-friendly Log
Main power On, Off, transitions in power status, job run times or time interval between jobs,
paper consumption per hour, power consumption.
• For details about the log collection server, see the user's manual of the log collection server.
• When using the log collection server, you must configure the log transfer settings on the log
collection server.
