Quotas

Quota policy allows you to increment or set the quota limit of each page type (B/W, color, and copies) automatically at defined intervals. The quota is the frequency with which you reset or add to the defined budget for a user group. The quota policy enables Sentinel to update the budget figure automatically, at predefined intervals. You can define several quota policies, and for each user (or user profile) select a different policy.
