Quota Basis); amount of the spent quota in pages (Quota Used, Pages); amount of the remaining quota in pages (Quota remaining, Pages). Quota Basis is the period of time (day, week, month) during which operate the defined quotas. On the expiration of this period the current values of printing statistics (Quota Used) will be set to 0, and values of the rests of quotas (Quota remaining) become equal Host Quota.

Job limit, pages - using this option you can set a print job limit for each print job for entire print server. This option limits number of pages for each print job on this print server. If you set some value for this option, all jobs with pages number lager then defined value will be blocked.

Quota Basis - defines the time period for quotas. After this period "Quota used, ..." values will be reset to 0.

Example:

Quota Basis "DAY" is used on 1.01.2008 the following quotas have been defined:

Host Quota, Pages = 100

For last day the user has used:

Quota Used, Pages = 2

The user within the current day still can use:

Quota remaining, Pages = 98

At start of the program on 2.01.2008 quotas of the user will be:

Host Quota, Pages = 100

Quota Used, Pages = 0

Quota remaining, Pages = 100

In other words, counters of used quotas will be will be set to 0 every day (or month if it is chosen Quota Basis "MONTH").
