Section 12 : Key Operator Mode

EKC (Electronic Key Counter) [3]

This function can only be accessed by the key operator after a 8-digit EKC master key
code is entered. The Electronic Key Counter allows you to monitor all copying activity by
controlling EKC password accounts.
This feature can track copier usage for individual users and/or accounts as well as limit
access to the copier to authorized users. Copy quantity limits for specific accounts can
also be set. Use the EKC Key Operator Form provided at the end of this section to record
EKC password information.
The EKC stores up to 256 EKC passwords, each of which represents a separate account
that can be used for billing and recordkeeping. The number of users assigned to each
EKC password may depend upon the billing system in operation and the number of
individuals and departments using the copier. When the EKC is activated, copying can be
performed only after a valid 5-digit EKC password is entered.
Copy quantity for each password, copy limit for each password, and copy quantity for
each paper size can be visually confirmed in print.
If EKC needs to be activated on your machine, contact your service centre.
