Data accuracy

Actual paper sizes are converted to A4/Letter or A3/Tabloid sizes. Total page summaries (across all paper sizes) are calculated as A4/Letter-equivalent pages. For details, see (2026.02.19) Accounting - Impressions vs pages.

Dispatcher Paragon Cloud does not act as a print accounting solution. The reported data are calculated on a best-effort basis. See (2026.02.19) Accounting capabilities of Gen 2 Cloud Terminals for more information about the accounting capabilities of Dispatcher Paragon Cloud Gen2 Cloud terminals.

Overview

The “Overview” section consists of three main categories: Overview, Costs, Savings, and ESG Impact.

Overview

The “Overview” report provides a summary of all active users’ Prints and Copies.

Costs

The “Costs” report contains an estimate of the costs consumed. Based on costs per page, which customers can configure in Customer account settings.

Savings

The “Savings” report provides an overview of the natural resources saved, including trees, electricity, CO2 emissions, and water. Savings can be achieved by:

  • duplex print instead of simplex print

  • usage of recycled paper

  • not printing jobs submitted to the print queue

ESG Impact

The “ESG Impact” report provides an overview of the natural resources consumed, including cut trees, electricity consumption, CO2 emissions, and wasted water.

Trees

Number of trees cut to produce paper sheets. An average tree produces about 8,333 A4 sheets of paper.

Data, Statistics, and Useful Numbers for Environmental Sustainability

Electric energy

Energy consumption is a combination of the energy needed to produce the A4 paper sheets + the energy needed to print the A4 page on a n multi-functional device. In total, we get ~20Wh per printed page.

Electricity used by office equipment and network equipment in the US

Carbon dioxide

The carbon footprint of one A4 sheet of paper is around 4.5 g of CO2.

Wasted water

Wasted water during the paper production. Modern paper mills waste around 10 liters of water per 5g of A4 paper.

Recycled paper

Using recycled paper saves around 57% CO2 compared to virgin paper. Set how much recycled paper you use in the Customer account settings under the Regional tab.

Users

The “Users” section consists of three main categories: Users, Departments, and User groups, based on the user who printed/copied the document.

Users

The “Users” report contains all details about how end users print or copy documents, aggregated to the user level.

Departments

The “Departments” report levels up the detail to the whole department.

A user can belong to only one department at once.

User groups

The “User groups” report, like department reports, aggregates the details to the entire user group, but in this case, it calculates user data for each group the user belongs to.

A user can belong to multiple user groups. It may affect the total number of prints/copies/pages for all user groups, as several groups can include the same document.

Printers

The “Printers” report consists of two main categories: Printers and Containers, based on the printer used to print or copy the document.

Printers

The “Printers” report contains all printer usage details, aggregated to the printer level.

Containers

The “Container” report aggregates the details for the entire container to which the printer belongs.

At the moment, the report will only mention the leaf container from the tree structure.
