  - Some of the user information is deleted from the database while some is just replaced with deleted user. The replacement ensures data consistency.
  - The user information replaced with deleted user includes print statistics and reports.

  Note: Permanently deleted users cannot be recovered.
3. Click Yes.
  
  Note: To confirm whether the removal is successful, click Refresh.

- A maximum of only five reports are stored in the server.
- Depending on the size of the report, its delivery time may vary.
- The download file is a ZIP file that contains CSV files that are named after each card in the dashboard.
- Large data such as data that covers more than two years may cause an error to the e-mail reporting feature.
1. Click Feature Options > E-mail Reporting, and then do any of the following:
  - To send e‑mail reports, select Enable E-mail Reporting.
  - To specify the frequency of e-mail reports, configure the Reporting Schedule section.
