Configuring the Auto-Reset Function

This function is available only when the optional hard disk is installed.

The print volume counter can be reset at a specified time.

When Central Management is enabled and "Print Volume Use Limitation" is set to [Manage Centrally] on the management server, the setting on the management server is used on the management server and managed clients.

  • If you select in [Every Month] a date, such as the 31st day, which some months have and other months do not have, the print volume will be reset at 0:00 on the 1st day of the month that comes after the month that does not have the 31st day.
