Data Fields from RICOH Supervisor Data Collector
- Important:
- To retrieve data from your printers, you must first add the printers in RICOH Supervisor Data Collector. Make sure that you configure all the settings correctly according to the printer type and that the data collector can communicate with the printers and retrieve data. For more information, see the RICOH Supervisor Data Collector documentation.
- All the time-related data is displayed in the printer time zone set in RICOH Supervisor Data Collector.
These data fields are available from RICOH Supervisor Data Collector:
Field Name | Description |
---|---|
Account section | |
Account ID | The unique identifier assigned to the account in RICOH Account Administration. |
Account Name | The account name configured in RICOH Account Administration. |
Data Collector | The name of the data collector as it is configured in RICOH Supervisor Data Collector. |
Job section | |
Job Duration (ms) |
The amount of time required for printing the job in milliseconds. On cut sheet printers, the job duration includes the time the printer was in an error state while printing the job. On continuous form printers, the job always goes to the printed or aborted state when a printer error occurs. When the error is resolved and printing resumes, RICOH Supervisor Data Collector creates a new job with the same name but with a different job ID. The job duration is tracked separately for each job ID and the time the printer was in an error state is not included. |
Job End Time |
The time when the job finished printing in the printer time zone set in RICOH Supervisor Data Collector. We recommend using the Job Start Time and Job End Time data fields only for information about the job. To view data based on time intervals, use the fields available in the Date section. |
Job ID |
The unique identifier assigned to the job. Job IDs are useful for distinguishing and tracking each individual job. For example, you can use the Job ID field if you want to count the number of jobs that were printed during a time period. If you use the Job Name field instead, jobs with the same name are counted only once. |
Job Name | The name of the job. |
Job Printing Side |
The printing side setting: 1-sided or 2-sided. For continuous form printers, the printing side information is retrieved based on the current printer configuration and not on the job settings. Make sure that you restart the printer every time you change the printer configuration. On printers with multiple engines, if engine 2 or 3 is disabled, RICOH Supervisor Data Collector cannot identify the printer configuration accurately. As a result, when you print a 1-sided job, the printing side is reported as 2-sided. The printing side information is not available for TotalFlow Print Server cut sheet printers. |
Job Start Time |
The time when the job started printing in the printer time zone set in RICOH Supervisor Data Collector. We recommend using the Job Start Time and Job End Time data fields only for information about the job. To view data based on time intervals, use the fields available in the Date section. |
Job State | The state of the job: aborted, printed, or printing. |
Printed Copies |
The number of printed copies. For aborted jobs on InfoPrint 5000, and InfoPrint 4100 continuous form printers, the number of printed copies is always estimated assuming that all jobs are 2-up. As a result, the estimation is incorrect if the job has other n-up settings. On continuous form printers, the job always goes to the aborted or printed state when a printer error occurs. When the error is resolved and printing resumes, RICOH Supervisor Data Collector creates a new job with the same name but with a different job ID. The number of printed copies is reported as follows:
|
Printed Impressions |
The number of printed impressions.
If a job contains inserts, the inserts are not taken into account for the number of printed impressions. For aborted jobs on InfoPrint 5000, and InfoPrint 4100 continuous form printers, the number of printed impressions is always estimated assuming that all jobs are 2-up. As a result, the estimation is incorrect if the job has other n-up settings. On continuous form printers, the job always goes to the aborted or printed state when a printer error occurs. When the error is resolved and printing resumes, RICOH Supervisor Data Collector creates a new job with the same name but with a different job ID. The number of printed impressions is reported as follows:
|
Printed Pages |
The number of printed pages.
If a job contains inserts, the inserts are not taken into account for the number of printed pages. For aborted jobs on InfoPrint 5000, and InfoPrint 4100 continuous form printers, the number of printed pages is always estimated assuming that all jobs are 2-up. As a result, the estimation is incorrect if the job has other n-up settings. On continuous form printers, the job always goes to the aborted or printed state when a printer error occurs. When the error is resolved and printing resumes, RICOH Supervisor Data Collector creates a new job with the same name but with a different job ID. The number of printed pages is reported as follows:
|
Printed Paper Length (Feet) |
The length of paper printed by continuous form printers, measured in feet. In visuals, the Printed Paper Length (Feet) and Printed Paper Length (Meters) data fields are switched automatically based on the Length unit option specified under . The paper length data might not always be exact due to printer communication delays. Sometimes, there might be a difference of a few feet between the reported data and the actual length of printed paper. On continuous form printers, the job always goes to the aborted or printed state when a printer error occurs. When the error is resolved and printing resumes, RICOH Supervisor Data Collector creates a new job with the same name but with a different job ID. The printed paper length is tracked and reported separately for each job ID. |
Printed Paper Length (Meters) |
The length of paper printed by continuous form printers, measured in meters. In visuals, the Printed Paper Length (Feet) and Printed Paper Length (Meters) data fields are switched automatically based on the Length unit option specified under . The paper length data might not always be exact due to printer communication delays. Sometimes, there might be a difference of a few feet between the reported data and the actual length of printed paper. On continuous form printers, the job always goes to the aborted or printed state when a printer error occurs. When the error is resolved and printing resumes, RICOH Supervisor Data Collector creates a new job with the same name but with a different job ID. The printed paper length is tracked and reported separately for each job ID. |
Printed Sheets |
The number of printed sheets.
If a job contains inserts, the inserts are not taken into account for the number of printed sheets. For aborted jobs on continuous form printers, the number of printed sheets is always estimated assuming that all jobs are 2-up. As a result, the estimation is incorrect if the job has other n-up settings. On continuous form printers, the job always goes to the aborted or printed state when a printer error occurs. When the error is resolved and printing resumes, RICOH Supervisor Data Collector creates a new job with the same name but with a different job ID. The number of printed sheets is reported as follows:

Operator - Continuous Form section | |
Logged Activity Type |
The type of operator activity, such as logging in, logging out, clearing errors, cleaning the printer, or aligning forms. The log-in and log-out activities are generated automatically when an operator logs in or logs out. The rest of the activities are retrieved from the printer log. For more information on adding activities to the printer log, see the printer documentation. The operator activity data is collected from the local printer console and the remote console. When the data is collected from the remote console, the activity is associated with the local console user. This data field applies to InfoPrint 4100, InfoPrint 5000, RICOH Pro VC40000, RICOH Pro VC60000, RICOH Pro VC70000, and RICOH Pro VC80000 continuous form printers. |

The printer engine where the printer intervention occurred. You can use this data field to view printer interventions by printer engine. For continuous form printers, the Printer Engine values can be 1, 2, or 3, depending on the printer. For cut sheet printers, the Printer Engine value is Not Available. The Printer Engine data field is only available for printer intervention tracking. |
Printer Intervention Code | The code of the printer intervention. |
Printer Intervention Duration (ms) | The duration of the printer intervention in milliseconds. |
Printer Intervention ID |
The unique identifier assigned to the printer intervention. Printer Intervention IDs are useful for distinguishing and tracking each individual printer intervention. For example, you can use the Printer Intervention ID field if you want to count the number of interventions that occurred during a time period. If you use the Printer Intervention Message or Printer Intervention Code fields instead, each intervention message or intervention code is counted only once even when the same intervention occurred multiple times. |
Printer Intervention Message | The description of the printer intervention. |
Printer Intervention Sequence |
The sequence of printer interventions used when the printer sends several intervention codes at the same time: Main Error, Second Error, Third Error, Fourth Error, Fifth Error, Sixth Error, Seventh Error, Eighth Error, or Ninth Error. This data field is important for printer intervention data accuracy when a main intervention
generates a sequence of other interventions. For example, the The printer intervention sequence is also useful when several independent interventions,
such as RICOH Supervisor orders the printer interventions from a set of simultaneous interventions based on this default order:
For example, if the If the Any other printer interventions that are received from the printer but are not included in the default list take precedence over the interventions in the list. You can add the Printer Intervention Sequence field as a filter to obtain accurate results in visuals that display the printer
intervention duration. For example, you can filter the data to include only intervention
codes with the Main Error value and exclude the All the printer intervention data collected with a RICOH Supervisor Data Collector version older than 1.1.0.669 is automatically assigned to the N\A intervention sequence value. Make sure that you include this value in the Printer Intervention Sequence filter if you want to view older data. |
