  2. On the panel, enter the quota name, set its parameters, and then click Save.

The new quota is enabled and appears on the Quota overview list (MyQ, Settings, Quota).

Combining Quotas

Quotas are independent of each other. Therefore, it is always the strictest quota that applies to a particular user or group.

For example: There are two quotas applied to a user. Both of them disable printing after a certain amount of printed pages ‒ one after five printed pages and the other after ten printed pages. After the users prints five pages, the lower quota applies and they cannot print. The quota can be boosted, allowing the user to print more pages. If they print five more pages, the higher quota applies.

Bulk Quota Import using CSV

You can create several quotas at once by importing them from a CSV file. Click Tools and select Import, you can then select a CSV file to import.
