Enable quota management

This topic describes how to enable quota management on a device.

Configure the following to have Output Manager to use quota management:

Do this See
Enable external authentication

Configure a device for external authentication

Set manageLogin to external
Set the allowance profile

Configure copy quota for users

Output Manager cannot do quota management on 2.x devices, as they do not support external authentication.

Quota is checked at login time, and during and after a copy session. After the limit is reached, the Combined Client for Ricoh issues a command to stop copy. The command turns off all device functions, including copy, scan, and fax. Depending on the device capabilities, it may continue copying pages before its functions are turned off. On the device panel, the user is prompted for a key card, while the Print Manager shows that the quota has been reached on a device.
