Print tracking configuration

There are two methods to track printing—through printer ports or through the Xerox MFP’s firmware (also called Xerox JBA or Job-based Accounting). Each method has its own strengths:

• Printer Port tracking through DRE or DCE collects information about the print job directly from the print server, resulting in extremely granular information about the print job. This allows jobs to be costed properly based upon the intended resulting print.
• Xerox® JBA tracking collects information from the logs of the printer itself, resulting in data derived from what was actually produced by the device, rather than what was intended by the print server. This results in potentially more accurate information about the resulting print job, especially in cases where the printer does not function as expected at the time of print. The data collected from the printer logs, however, lacks the granularity of the data collected by the DRE, which could result in the job being incorrectly costed.
