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. 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 the Copier, Printer, and Scanner functions for each user code. When User Code authentication is activated, the counter functions.

Counter for Print Volume Use

Print volume use is the total number of printed pages weighted by the unit count that is specified for each printing function.

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 activated, the counter functions.
