Confirming the Counter for Each User
When you specify User Authentication on the machine, you can confirm the print volume (counter value) for each user using the [Administrator Tools] tab. When you confirm the print frequency and usage status of users, you can use this function for cost management and machine operation.
There are two types of counters as follows:
Counter for Function
You can confirm the usage status of Copy, Printer, and Scanner for each User Code. When User Code Authentication is used, the counter functions.
Counter for Print Volume Use
Print Volume Use is the value that the number of printed pages is quantified by weighting paper size.
Specifying Maximum Print Volume Use of Each User
You can confirm Print Volume Use for each user and for each User Code. When Basic Authentication, Windows Authentication, LDAP Authentication, or User Code Authentication is used, the counter functions.
