Xerox Usage Analysis Tool
The Xerox Usage Analysis Tool (UAT) 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.
