the user name, when the job was submitted, when the job was printed, the printing time, the type
of image, the number of pages, the number of copies, the paper type and size, the amount of each
color of ink used and various other attributes of the job.

●
B: High-coverage lines (0.5 to 2 ml/m²)
●
C: Maps and low-coverage renders (2 to 5 ml/m²)
●
D: Photographs (more than 5 ml/m²)
You can download an Excel template from HP's Web site (

enable you to display the XML data more readably in the form of a spreadsheet.

printer. You can, for instance:
●
Bill each customer for the total amount of ink and paper used by that customer over a particular
period.
●
Bill each customer separately per job.
●
Bill each customer separately for each project, broken down by job.
