When the maximum number of job log, access log or eco-friendly log that can be kept on the printer is exceeded and new logs are generated, old logs are overwritten by the new ones. If the logs are not downloaded periodically, it may not be possible to record the old logs onto files.
When using Web Image Monitor to manage logs, download the logs at an interval appropriate to the conditions in the table.

According to these conditions, the printer can maintain logs for 40 days without overwriting, but to be cautious, we recommend downloading after half that time, 20 days, to leave room for error.
Manage downloaded log files appropriately under the responsibility of the machine administrator.
If you change the [Collect] / [Do not Collect] setting for log collection, you must perform a batch deletion of the logs.
After downloading the logs, perform a batch deletion of the logs.
Batch deletion of logs can be performed from the control panel or through Web Image Monitor.
During log downloads, do not perform operations that will create log entries, as logs that are in the process of downloading cannot be updated with new entries.
