Editing a printer credit allocation strategy for an establishment

If you choose to automatically allocate a number of printer credits to users over a defined period, for example every week or month, you are using an auto-allocation strategy. You can edit the auto-allocation strategies for your establishment, and you can also select a default allocation strategy, which will be allocated to new users unless you specify otherwise.

With an allocation strategy, you can choose to either add printer credits on a set schedule, regardless of the user's current credit balance, or replace credits that have been used up to a specified amount.

To edit a printer credit allocation strategy

From the left-hand pane, right-click the establishment name and from the menu choose Properties.
Choose the Printer Credits view.
Ensure 'Enable printer credits' is ticked.
Select an allocation strategy from the Strategy list, and then click the Edit button.
In the Operation section, select whether to add or replace credits, and enter the number of credits.
Select when the strategy will be scheduled: daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.
Click OK to close the Edit Allocation Strategy window.

To select a default allocation strategy

Select an allocation strategy from the Strategy list.
Click the Make Default button.
The strategy appears in the Strategy list with '(default)' next to it.
Click OK.
