Before you begin
Connecting to a quota server ensures that each user stays within an acceptable range of printed or scanned
pages. When connected, the printer will query the server each time a job is started to ensure that the user has
pages available. If the server is unavailable, the user account is not known by the server, or pages are not
available for the user, then the user may not be able to complete his or her job. Please refer to documentation
from the company providing the quota server software for more information.
NOTE: If the printer is connected to an external Job Statistics Service, network-connection problems with that
service could prevent users from completing jobs with the printer. Consider disconnecting the Job Statistics
Service to prevent conicts.
Disconnect a Job Statistics Service:
1. In the EWS, click the General tab.
2. In the left navigation pane, click Job Statistics Settings.
3. If one or more Job Statistics Services are listed on this page, select them, and then click the Remove
button, or click the Remove All button to disconnect all services.
4. Click the Apply button to save the settings.
Step one: Congure statistics and quota services
Use the following steps to congure statistics and quota services.
Connecting to a quota service ensures that each user stays within a pre-dened range of printed or scanned
pages.
When connected, the printer queries the server each time a job is started to ensure that the user has pages
available. Any of the following quota-server conditions might prevent the user from completing their job.
● The quota server is unavailable.
● The user account is not known by the server.
● The user has exceeded their page quota.
If your business uses a quota server, please refer to documentation from the company providing the quota
server software for more information.
For smaller businesses, printing or scanning can also be limited for users or groups with local Device User
Accounts (Server-less Job Accounting). For more information, refer to the steps below on how to enable and
congure the local quota service.
1. In the EWS, click the General tab.
