Device Management
This limit could also be split out between
monochrome and color, allowing a color
device to be used by junior staff as a
monochrome device only while maintaining
color capability for senior staff.
While this system offers very extensive
control capabilities over the device, we
would have liked to have seen the
management carried out at a central
network location. This would allow for the
control and monitoring of users across a
range of Sharp devices.
For example, junior staff member X is
assigned a limit of 50 color sheets per
week within their profile. That profile has
been downloaded onto four Sharp MFPs.
There is nothing to stop the user carrying
out 50 color prints on each of the four
devices, thus creating 200 sheets.
If the system were managed centrally, the
50-sheet limit would be hit regardless of
the split in workload between the four
devices.
Sharp advised that a central server-based
accounting system is in development and
will be released shortly.
An Authorities group profile can be applied
across multiple users to designate which
functions can and cannot be used by users
in the profile.
While there is some overlap between the
Authority function and Page Limit function
(a Page Limit of zero pages is effectively
the same as not permitting the feature
within the Authority group list) it does offer
greater flexibility for the administrator.
A junior staff Page Limit profile can be set up with no limit on monochrome printing
but limits on color output capabilities
