Getting Started
Getting Started
The HP Statistics Module is a method of capturing data directly from a network printer. This additional
tool can assist the user in locating, configuring, and testing printers on a network.
System Requirements
Before installing the HP Statistics Module, the following must be present on the system:
Device
Enter the device user name and password before scanning and configuring devices.
NOTE: By default, the user name and password fields are blank. A message displays if the user
does not enter the user name and password before scanning for devices.
HP Statistics
The URI field contains the location of the Statistics callback service.
Click Test to test the Statistics callback service.
Critical client
The job accounting application operates in one of two modes: Normal Operation or Critical Client
Operation. These modes take effect when the device is unable to upload job accounting data to the
client application, and the stored data from multiple jobs fills up the devices buffer.
Normal Operation: This is the default mode of operation. In this mode, if the buffer fills, the
device deletes the oldest jobs data from the buffer as a new job is processed. Up to 16 clients
can subscribe for Normal Operation.
Critical Client Operation: To activate this mode, click the checkbox next to Critical client. In
this mode, if the buffer fills, the device prevents any new jobs (print or walk-up) from initiating. If
the data from the server to the client must be reliable, use this mode of operation.
NOTE: When using Normal Operation, a fixed IP address is recommended to keep the Statistics
service working properly. If either the IP address or the network name changes, reconfiguration is
recommended but not required. If both the IP address and the network name change, then
reconfiguration is required.
NOTE: When using Critical Client Operation, only one client can subscribe. After a client
subscribes to this mode, all other clients that request a subscription are rejected.
License
The License section displays only if CTRM or BRM is installed.
The License section displays the licensing ID Key, Activation Key and Expiration Date. This section
also displays the number of devices currently licensed and the total number of allowed licenses for the
Activation key. The default license includes up to ten devices and expires two weeks after the day of
installation.
NOTE: If the license Activation Key is expired, a red icon displays, indicating the license is invalid.
Configuration
Use the Configuration tab to discover and configure devices.
Discover devices
Open the Device menu and select one of the following device discovery methods:
SNMP discovery
IP range
NOTE: While a device discovery is in progress, a Cancel button displays at the bottom of the
window, allowing the user the option to cancel the discovery.
SNMP discovery

IP range
Select IP range to scan for devices within a selected range of IP addresses.
Device data
