There are various different ways of getting accounting information from your printer.
-
View printer usage statistics for the whole lifetime of the printer, or for particular periods.
-
View ink and paper usage for each of your recent jobs by using the Embedded Web Server or the printer's front panel.
-
Request accounting data by E-mail. The printer sends data in XML at regular intervals to a specified E-mail address; the data may be interpreted and summarized by a third-party application, or displayed as an Excel spreadsheet.
-
Use a third-party application to request printer status, printer usage or job accounting data from the printer through the Internet. The printer provides data in XML to the application whenever requested. HP provides a Software Development Kit to facilitate the development of such applications.
