This function limits the volume allowed for print jobs. If users reach their maximum print volume, their print jobs are 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.
If you enable Central Management, you can specify whether or not to use Central Management to manage the volume of printouts. For details about Central Management, see Web Image Monitor Help.
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.

Notes for limiting print volume
If the following occurs, the user will not be able to print:
The login user name or user code registered in the Address Book is changed while the user is logged in and authenticated.
If the following occurs, print volume management will not function correctly:
Under Windows or LDAP authentication, a user logs in to the same user account by using multiple login user names, and these multiple login names are registered in the Address Book as separate users.
The following operations are exempt from print volume limitation:
Printing from an operating system that does not support the current authentication method.
