Print Tracking Through the MFP Accounting Log

If you wish to track printing based upon the information gathered by the MFP’s Accounting log instead of through the Equitrac port you should configure the following:

  1. Open Web System Manager and go to Devices > Physical Devices and select a device from the list.
  2. In the Settings area, select Do not track activity or page counts from the Tracking behavior for transactions on this device drop-down list.
  3. Click Save to save the changes.
  4. Navigate to Configuration > Devices > Embedded devices, and select Sharp OSA 3.5/4 from the Device Type drop-down list.
  5. Ensure that Print is selected in the Tracked activities section, then click Apply to save the change to the global options set in the Embedded devices dialog box.
  6. Click Save again to save the change to the global options set in the Embedded devices dialog.
    Note: When print tracking from the MFP you must set the Tracking behavior to Do not track or record print transactions on this device on the Physical device summary screen, and select the Print checkbox on the Embedded device configuration dialog. Failure to set these options results in double tracking or no tracking.
