Understanding quotas

When you view your print release queue on the printer control panel, you may see one or two icons with numbers next to them:

The color quota is a subset of the total quota. When you print a color job, both your color quota and your total quota decrease. When you print a black-and-white job, only your total quota decreases until it becomes lower than your color quota. When your total quota becomes lower than your color quota, your color quota automatically decreases to match your total quota.

When you select jobs to print from your print release queue, note the page count for each job. If the total page count for all the jobs you selected exceeds your quota, then you cannot print. When you attempt to print, a message appears on the printer screen, stating that you do not have enough quota to complete the request.
