## Print Volume Use Limitation: Unit Count Setting

A "unit" is a per-page numerical value that you can assign to color mode (Color/Black & White) and print functions (Printer/Copier). Specifying unit counts allows you to restrict user printing according to the combination of color mode (Color/Black & White) and print function (Printer/Copier). For example: if you specify a unit count of "5" for Printer/Color, a user with 100 units can print 20 sheets (20 sheets @ 5 units per sheet for the color printing). You can specify a unit count between 0 and 200. Note that if you specify "0", no unit count is applied and printing of the corresponding the print type will not be limited.

Note

- Print volume limits based on unit count cannot be applied if Allow Continue Use is selected for Machine Action When Limit is Reached.
- "Others" refers to all sizes except A3/DLT.
