Managing Print Volume per User
This function limits how much each user can print. When a user reaches their printing limit, their print job
is canceled and/or a message indicating so is displayed.
Either the user administrator or the machine administrator can specify the print volume available to a
user.
Print volume
The print volume is calculated by multiplying the number of pages by a unit count.
The unit count can be weighted according to the printing conditions. For example, with a unit count
weight of 10, if one page is printed, then the print volume would be 10.
The print volume is tracked for each user.
