Xerox Standard Accounting tracks the number of print jobs for each user. You can set limits to restrict the total number of jobs by type that a user can produce. You can then generate reports listing usage data for individual users and groups.

When Xerox Standard Accounting is enabled, users must log in to the press before accessing services. They must also provide their account details in the print driver before printing documents from a computer.

Note: If Xerox Standard Accounting is enabled, you cannot enable other accounting modes.

You can create a maximum of:
• 2499 unique Xerox Standard Accounting user IDs
• 500 General Accounts
• 499 Group Accounts

All user IDs must be assigned to one or more group accounts.

Note: Xerox Standard Accounting settings and account data are stored in the press. Xerox recommends that you back up settings using the Cloning feature. If settings are lost or deleted, you can restore them using the cloning backup file. See Related Content.
