Color quotas

If you are concerned about the costs associated with color output, use Color Quotas to set a limit on the number of pages a user can print or copy in color output. You can set a different quota per user, or select multiple users to apply a specific quota to a group at a time. For example, you can allow User A to print or copy up to 75 pages in color, whereas User B is limited to 25 pages of color output. Color quotas can be reset so that the amount of color output the user has to print or copy in color can be brought back to the original limit.

Setting and resetting color quotas can be done through the User properties of a single user, or multiple users or by scheduling a task to perform these operations automatically at a preset date, time, and interval.

Quotas apply to user accounts only. You cannot set a color quota for a department or billing code.
