Collecting printer statistics
MarkVision Professional can collect various types of statistical information from selected printers, such as the number of job types performed, the types of paper and ink used and which printers on the network perform which jobs most regularly. The Collect Printer Statistics task may also be configured to e-mail these statistics to another location, so that the information may be more easily distributed. You also have the option to e-mail these statistics to our marketing department so that we may use the information to develop new and better ways to serve your business needs.
Note: This feature is not designed to collect or redistribute any information without the knowledge of the customer. The collection and e-mailing of statistical information must be configured by the administrator after the MarkVision Professional software has been installed. The collected information is in a text format, so administrators can view the outgoing information.
