Notes on Operation When the Number of Log Entries Reaches Maximum

If the number of logs that can be stored on the printer exceeds the specified maximum limit, old logs are overwritten by new logs. The maximum number of logs that can be stored is defined for each of the following: the job log, access log and eco-friendly log.

The job log and access log are downloaded as one file.

"If logs are downloaded without overwriting" below indicates that the job log and access log are mixed after download.

"If logs are downloaded during overwriting" below indicates that part of the access log is overwritten.

In this example, part of the access log is overwritten by a downloaded log and deleted.

The eco-friendly log is downloaded as an independent file.

Log entries are overwritten in the order of priority. Log entries with higher priority will not be overwritten or deleted.

To determine whether or not overwriting occurred while the logs were downloading, check the message in the last line of the downloaded logs.

  • If overwriting did not occur, the last line will contain the following message: Download completed.

  • If overwriting did occur, the last line will contain the following message: Download completed. A part of the logs before Log ID xxxx does not exist any more.

Note

  • If overwriting has occurred, a part of the logs will have been erased by the overwriting, so check the log "Log ID xxxx" and more recent logs.
