Xerox Usage Analysis Tool
The Xerox
®
Usage Analysis Tool 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.
Notes:
• 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.

install the Usage Analysis Tool on. If the date and time do not match, the Usage Analysis
Tool does not automatically pull reports from the printer.
