Assign a quota profile

Complete this procedure to assign a quota management profile to a Windows queue.

  1. In the Output Manager Console navigation pane, select the Administration application.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Manage Windows Queues.
  3. Click the Server tab to configure server queues or the Workstation tab to configure workstation queues.
    A server queue is a Windows queue that has been converted into a Output Manager source. Server queues use the Output Manager Port Monitor so that the data is received into the Output Manager spool. A workstation queue is a Windows printer that is not a Output Manager source (for example, a USB attached printer on an end user's workstation). The data is not received into Output Manager.
    Note: Notice the grid is displayed grouped by the Server Name column. This allows you to easily view all queues for a server. You can remove grouping by right clicking in the group panel and clicking Clear Grouping.
  4. Click in the Quota Profile cell for the appropriate queue.
  5. Select a quota management profile from the list, or click the browse button (...) to create or edit one.
    Clicking the browse button opens the Manage Windows Queues Quota Profiles dialog box.
  6. If you are configuring an workstation queue, you can also specify the cost per page for black and white and color printing.
  7. Once all of the changes have been made, click Apply.
