Chapter 6 Printer ECM
6-2 Print Controller User’s Guide
■ Overview of the Printer ECM
The ECM feature is a feature designed to provide the copier with control over the number of outputs. By
setting this feature to meet your requirements, you can let the copier have control over the number of
pages to be copied or the number of outputs to be produced upon receipt of print jobs from the Print
Controller.
Setting the Printer ECM feature means that, provided you enter a password previously established on the
printer to request a print job, the copier counts up printouts based on the ECM counter to know when a
preset limit is hit, and also rejects a print request from a client having no valid password.
● Setting of Printer ECM
A password for Printer ECM and its counter are set in the copier’s key operator settings. For guidance in
setting Printer ECM, refer to the copier user’s guide.
A password for Printer ECM has need to be the same as User ID to enter at printing out
time.
● Printing with Printer ECM
If Printer ECM has been set as appropriate, perform the following steps to get an output.
1. Select the [Paper] tab in the printer driver properties window, and click the [Settings]
key.
[Password Print Settings] dialog will appear.
2. Type in the user ID set up in Printer ECM into the User ID text box.
You must enter the same password (8 digits or less) in the User ID text box that you set up
on the copier for Printer ECM.
If you do not enter the correct password or if you leave the User ID text box blank, the print
job is not performed and is registered as No complete job. When in doubt about the pass-
word for Printer ECM, ask your system administrator.
3. Click [OK] to close the Properties and start the printing process.
