Understanding the Device Usage version 1.10 configuration data for e‑Task 5, e‑Task 4 and e‑Task 3 printers

Learn about the device usage version for e‑Task 5, e‑Task 4 and e‑Task 3 printers.

Setting

Description

Site ID

The site ID that the printer uses for reports. If this setting is not specified, then the default site code in LDD is used.

Server Type

Determines the server type that the usage data is being reported to.

Possible values

  • Web Service—A generic web service that implements the Device Usage Web Service specification

  • LDD—An LDD server that is configured to receive device usage statistics

Server URL

The text shown on the login screen. If this setting is not specified, then the default text is used.

This setting is the URL used to send data to the server. Use the following format for the LDD Server Type value:

  • http://LBaddr:9780

  • https://LBaddr

Where LBaddr is the host name or IP address of the LDD load balancer server.

Track Copy

When enabled, copy jobs on the printer are tracked. We recommend this method for tracking copies when Print Release quotas are not used. If quotas are enabled, then LDD tracks copy jobs and the Track Copy setting must not be enabled.

Note: During the Copy or Copy Cancel workflow, the Track Copy and Track Copy Cancel settings must not be enabled at the same time on a printer. Enabling these settings together causes duplicate entries in the PR_STATS report.

Track Copy Cancel

When enabled, canceled copy jobs on the printer are tracked. We recommend this method to track regular copies and when quotas are enabled when using LDD. Only the actual pages printed are tracked when using this setting. Canceled copy jobs are sent immediately to the server for a real‑time user quota update.

Note: During the Copy or Copy Cancel workflow, the Track Copy and Track Copy Cancel settings must not be enabled at the same time on a printer. Enabling these settings together causes duplicate entries in the PR_STATS report.

Track Email

When enabled, emails sent from the printer are tracked. If LDD Print Release is used, then the From field shows the email address of the logged in user, and the Track Email setting must not be enabled.

Track Fax Send

When enabled, faxes sent from the printer are tracked. We recommend this method for tracking fax jobs. If Print Release (Fax + Profile) is used, then the Track Fax Send setting must not be enabled.

Track Fax Receive

When enabled, faxes sent to the printer are tracked.

Track FTP

When enabled, FTP scans sent from the printer are tracked.

Track Print

When enabled, print jobs from the printer are tracked. When you use LDD Print Release, we recommend this method to track only print jobs that are not sent using Print Release. Make sure that the Ignore Print Jobs From setting is enabled.

Ignore Print Jobs From

A comma-separated list of IP addresses that does not generate print tracking data. When using LDD Print Release, we recommend this method to avoid duplicate tracking entries when sending jobs using Print Release. If Track Print is enabled, then this list must include all the LDD application server addresses. Including LDD servers to this list results in duplicate tracking entries.

Track Internal Print

When enabled, print jobs such as fax confirmations, email confirmations, and menu settings are tracked. The report does not include user-initiated print jobs.

Track Other Scans

When enabled, jobs that generate a scan job are tracked. The report includes any other eSF application or LDD profile that is not part of the Print Release package.

Include Profile Name in Data

When enabled, the profile name that initiated the workflow or scan job is tracked.

Note: We recommend enabling this setting only when necessary.
