Checking the Results of Monitoring Security Policies

This section describes the method for checking the results of monitoring security policies.
You can check the result of comparing with the standard security policy and the number of times that security policies have been overwritten for each printer.
NOTE
The number of times that security policies have been overwritten cannot be retrieved from some models. In this case, the number is always zero. For details on the corresponding models, see the following.

Checking the Detailed Monitoring Result of Each Printer

Select the desired printer from the list on the [Security Policy Monitoring Logs] page.

Regarding [Policy Change Count]
Each time the security policy of a printer is overwritten with a [Monitor/Distribute Security Policies] task, the number of items included in the security policy is added to the policy change count. (Regardless of whether the settings are actually overwritten.) Therefore, even if only one item is overwritten, the policy change count will not be "1."
