this parameter while checking quotas/limits.
Job limit, pages -
using this option you can set a print job limit for each print job
for selected user/group. This option limits number of pages for
each print job for this user/group. If you set some value for this
option, all jobs with pages number lager then defined value will be
blocked.

quotas automatically based on Quota Basis value.

There
is no
sense to
use user based quotas in domain or server based network where
groups is available. Always use groups instead users, it is more
comfortable and easily to manage. Quotas for separate users( if
users are more then 20...30 ) should be used as exclusion for users
with very extraordinary requirements.
You
should using user based quotas on those computers, on which work of
several users is allowed. In particular it concerns the "general
purpose" computers which are not having the constant owner. Here it
is possible to relate mobile computers of the remote users (taking
place outside of office of the company and frequently used by
different employees).
NOTE:
The regular Windows and groups can be used for Print Logger.
But for
best results you should create special groups for Print Logger to
organize your users in your own manner. Each user can be a member
only of the one special group. There
is no internal (non Windows) user/groups is used by Print
Logger.
NOTE:
If user is a member of two or more groups, quotas and statistics
will be processed for first group where user is member.
Other groups
will be ignored.
QUESTION: The user is a member of the Users group
, but a quota and statistics is shown for Administrators group
only. The Users group is not shown in statistics? Why?
ANSWER: The user is a member of two groups -
Users and Administrators. Statistics is shown for the first found
group in which the user is a member. You need to create separate
group for the user and to add it in Print Logger configuration.
Also you should remove Users and Administrators groups from the
Print Logger configuration.
