New Feature

Quota Management

Quota Management gives administrators control over user and group printing allowances, and provides a simple interface for adjusting as needed. These printing controls are tracked either by volume or price, helps manage and reduce print volume, increses user accountability, and lowers costs and environmental impact. Quota Management is part of our Cost Management bundle. For more details refer to our FAQ document or visit the Quota Management topic. To request a demo, please contact your Vasion representative.

Known issues:

• For Quota Management to function as designed, you must use a PCL or PCLXL printer driver. In some cases, proprietary or device-specific drivers may not allow the feature to work correctly.
• Currently, the Linux Client counts every print job as one page, potentially causing inaccurate quota tracking. A fix for this is in current development.
• Printers with Pull Print enabled are presenting errors. A fix for this is in development.
• Direct Secure Release using the Windows Client is not deducting quota. A fix for this is in development.
