MANAGEMENT SERVER AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

There is provided a management server in which a print log analysis unit of a device management application analyzes a job log collected from an MFP device to detect a pair of reprint related jobs, determines whether a reprinted job is useless or useful for the detected pair of jobs, and a print log analysis result report generation unit generates an analysis result report based on a determination result to outputs the generated report. If a detection result includes a pair of jobs, in which one job has been printed based on default print settings and the other job has been reprinted based on changed print settings, it is determined that the job printed based on the default print settings is a useless job.
