Managing Print Volume per User
This function limits how much each user can print. If users reach their maximum print volume, their print
jobs are canceled and/or a message indicating so is displayed.
Print volume
The print volume is calculated by multiplying the number of pages by a unit count.
The unit count can be specified according to the printing condition. For example, if one page is
printed with a unit count of 10, the print volume would be 10.
The print volume is tracked for each user.
