Collecting information about print jobs
You can use MarkVision Professional to gather and store information about each print job sent to a
specific printer (a task called Job Statistics: Trend Analysis). You can then view the collected
information using a database tool or an application specifically designed to interpret and display the
information.
Enabling Job Statistics tells MarkVision Professional to collect information about each print job sent
to a specific printer. This includes information such as job size, job duration, output bins used, and so
on.
You can use the information gathered by the Job Statistics task to answer questions such as:
• Which printers are getting the most use?
• Which departments are using the printer(s) the most?
• How long does it take to print a job?
