3. E.C.M. (E.K.C.)

Account Code

This function can only be accessed by the “key operator” after an 8-digit E.C.M. master key code is entered. The E.C.M. allows you to monitor all copying activity by controlling E.C.M. password accounts.

This feature can track copier usage for individual users and/or accounts as well as limit access to the copier to authorized users. Copy quantity limits for specific accounts can also be set. Use the E.C.M. Key Operator Form provided at the end of this section to record E.C.M. password information.

The E.C.M. stores up to 1,000 E.C.M. passwords, each of which represents a separate account that can be used for billing and recordkeeping. The number of users assigned to each account may depend upon the billing system in operation and the number of individuals and departments using the copier. When the E.C.M. is activated, copying can be performed only after a valid E.C.M. password is entered. Copy quantity and copy limit for each account can be visually confirmed on the screen.

If E.C.M. needs to be activated on your machine, contact your service representative.

The following E.C.M. settings can be made:

[1] E.C.M. data edit:

Change, add, or delete E.C.M. data and reset the copy count of the individual account.

[2] E.C.M. all count reset:

Clear the copy count for all accounts.

[3] E.C.M. function setting:

Activate the desired E.C.M. functions and set the machine condition when the copy limit is reached to stop either immediately or after a job is completed or to only display a warning message.
