Printer Analytics

Know which printers print which labels and how often.

When your printing workloads are not evenly distributed between your printers, use Analytics in Control Center to view and analyze which printers print the most labels so you can more efficiently distribute your workloads. You can customize print date ranges and see specific printer data with Filters.

To view and filter your printer workloads, follow these steps:

  1. Open Analytics in Control Center.

  2. Click the Printers tab (on your left).

    Analytics displays your bar graph and list of printer data (toggle to display number of errors).

  3. Scroll down to view your list of printers, labels they print, and errors.

    • Number of printed labels shows how many labels you print on rolls. If you print your labels on sheets of paper, Analytics displays how many pages you use (ex: 33 pages of labels).

    • Number of errors shows how many errors occurred.

  4. Toggle + and - (on your left) to view detailed lists for specific computers.

    • Click on a column to sort column data.

    • Sort by label dimensions (width x height)/stock number, or labels printed.

    • Analytics displays your label information in the following ways:

      Display Example:

      Meaning:

      10 x 5 cm

      Dimensions in cm

      3" x 6"

      Dimensions in inches

      30 x 22 mm

      Dimensions in mm

      40 x ?

      Width is constant, but label height is variable. Your label length depends on the amount of data in your label

      10 x 7 cm / A4

      When you print on sheets of paper, Analytics shows label dimensions and paper size

      30 x 20 mm / A4 - STOCK9i9i

      Analytics shows your label dimensions, paper size, and stock number

  5. Analytics displays printing data from today on your graph and list by default. To see data from another print date range, go to Filters > Print date (on your right).

    • Customize your print date range by selecting Custom and choosing a date range with From and To.

    • Click Add to apply your filter to your graph.

  6. To see data from specific printers, go to Filters > Printer (on your right).

    • Click the active Printer filter (above your graph) to open a drop-down menu and select/deselect more users. Click Save to apply your updates.

  7. Apply multiple filters at once to fine-tune your data view and find exactly what data you need.

  8. Click Download (on your bottom right) to export your data.

    • Analytics includes your applied data filters and only exports data you see.

    • Your data downloads as an .xml file you can open in Microsoft Excel.

Use Analytics to view and analyze printer workloads during print date ranges you select. Use this data to optimize and redistribute uneven printing workloads.
