Using the Activity Log in the Configuration Utility
The Activity Log monitors digital-sending activities. Up to 1,024 entries are stored in each activity log.
New events overwrite the oldest events. The log entries are saved in an .XML file on the HP DSS
server. The HP MFP DSS Configuration Utility Help file lists an explanation of the messages.
Clearing the log is useful when troubleshooting problems. After the log is cleared, entries reflect only
the current conditions. Clearing the log is also useful when major configuration changes are made.

●
Each digital-sending job (all types of destinations)
●
Shutdown and restart events

Deletion of any address-book contents
