Using Print Accounting

Overview

When the Print Accounting feature is enabled, only users registered in the machine (registered
users) can print. This feature can also restrict each user's printing and count up printed pages. To
print, the registered user needs to use a print driver or an application provided by us on which the
user account information is specified.
 You can register up to 50 users.
