Managing the maximum number of copies by user or account
Employing User Authentication or Account Track enables you to specify the maximum number of copies by user or account. Also, you can set the upper limit of the number of User Boxes that can be registered.
Management of the upper limit of copies by user or account depending on the use status of this machine encourages users and accounts to develop awareness of costs and also contributes to cost reduction.
To use the MFP authentication, set the upper limit when registering each user or account track.
To use the external authentication server, user information is registered once you execute authentication. To set the upper limit, edit user information registered on this machine.
To configure settings for each user, select [User Auth/Account Track] - [User Authentication Setting] - [User Registration] - [Edit] - [Max. Allowance Set] in the administrator mode.
To configure settings for each account track, select [User Auth/Account Track] - [Account Track Settings] - [Account Track Registration] - [Edit] - [Max. Allowance Set] in the administrator mode.
