span and how many ink cartridges you might use in one year.
• Whether you use more black or color ink.
• Average quantity of media used per month, for each media type.
• Number of pages printed, and the estimated number of pages you can print with the
remaining amounts of ink.

myPrintMileage site. (See

• Sort data by time period: monthly, fortnightly, weekly, or daily.
• Export Print accounting data as Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files.
• Configure the e-mail alerts and notifications to receive print accounting reports.
