HP Designjet Printer Series Security Settings

3.5 Exclude personal info from accounting

You can enable or disable the option for the printer to send an e-mail containing accounting information. If you enable

this setting, you also need to fill in the destination of the report by using the “Send accounting files to” setting. Please

note that you also have to configure the e-mail server on the Setup Page.

In some cases, customers prefer not to send personal data from the printers via e-mail, and so the option to Exclude

Personal information from accounting e-mail is now available in the Embedded Web server. If this option is selected,

accounting e-mails will not contain personal information (user name, job name, and account ID will be left blank in the

accounting file sent by e-mail from the printer).

This option is typically used for managed print or pay-per-use contracts in order to ensure that only the data

(counters) relevant for billing are being sent by the printer. Personal information about who printed which file is not

required for billing purposes, and can be excluded from the accounting e-mail. This personal information is typically

used for cost allocation within a company.
