Collecting the logs stored in this printer allows you to track detailed data on access to the printer, user identities, usage of the printer's various functions, and error histories.
The logs can be deleted periodically to make hard disk space available, and they can be encrypted to prevent leaking of information.
The logs can be viewed using Web Image Monitor or using the log collection server. Collected logs can be converted to CSV files and downloaded all at once. They cannot be read directly from the hard disk.
