Manage a user's printer credits

If you have Printer Credits installed, for a user to be able to print to a monitored printer, the user must have sufficient printer credits. You can limit the number of printer credits for a user, or allow a user unlimited printer credits.

To manage a user's printer credits

  1. From the left-hand pane, expand Picture of the Users icon Users and choose All Users.

  2. From the right-hand pane, right-click the user and from the menu, choose Properties.

  3. Choose the Printer Credits tab.

  4. In the 'Credit limit' section:

  5. To specify printer credits, select 'User has a limited number of printer credits' and type the number of printer credits to allocate to the user.
    Note:     When you have set 'Auto-allocation' for the user, the 'Credit limit' setting will override this setting and will apply for the duration of the current auto-allocation period.

  6. To set unlimited printer credits, select 'User has unlimited printer credits'.

  1. Click OK.

Notes

  • When a user is allocated a limited number of printer credits and they exceed this number, they are prevented from printing at any printers that are monitored.

  • You can use the same process to allow limited or unlimited printer credits for multiple users. In step 2 choose all of the required users.

  • User properties are also available by selecting the user and choosing Picture of the Properties button in the toolbar, or from the File menu choosing Properties.
