Printer Pricing

With these settings, you can define prices per page for each of the page types.  While each printer type has a base price for printing a standard page, you can add or subtract a fixed amount from the base price to get a more accurate accounting of printing costs. These prices are then used in Sentinel reports and to calculate budget utilization.

Use this screen to review/edit existing printer prices and to add a new price.

To view/edit the breakdown for a specific printer type:

  1. Click the Plus icon on the left of the printer name to expand the definitions.
    The prices for that printer are shown. These prices are increments (or decrements) to the base price for the printer type.

  2. Type in the new increments for each type of printing. You can type negative numbers by prefacing them with the minus sign "-".

  3. Click Save.

 

CAUTION! You cannot delete printer price definitions.

 

To add a new printer price (treat with caution; see note, above):

  1. Click Add New.
    The Add New Price screen opens.

  2. Configure the parameters described below.

  3. Click Save.
