The MFP/LP does not allow any changes to be made to the log data itself, i.e. the data can only be
transferred to Web SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin in an unaltered, encrypted state. Therefore, the
data cannot be overwritten or modified in any way, even by those with administrator-level access
rights.
When the log reaches its capacity, the oldest entries are then overwritten one by one by each new
entry. To ensure that this data is not lost, it must be sent to Web SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin
before it is overwritten. As mentioned above, the MFP/LP sends the data to Web
SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin only when an operational or access event has occurred.
Note: With MFP/LPs that do not have an HDD installed, the log data is stored in volatile RAM. The
data is therefore erased when the MFP/LP main power is turned off. In addition, since the RAM
capacity is not as large as that of the log area in the HDD, the oldest log entries will be
overwritten sooner.
The time it takes for the log to reach its capacity depends on the log capacities and rate at which
the events (log entries) are recorded.
Job log
Capacity
:
With HDD: 2000 entries
Without HDD: 500 entries
Time to full condition
:
With HDD: 2000/N minutes
Without HDD: 500/N minutes
Note:
- One job = one log entry
- N = Average number of jobs (log entries) generated in one minute
Example: An HDD is installed, and the MFP/LP receives an average of five (5) jobs per
minute.
2000 / 5 = 400 minutes (6 hours, 40 minutes)
