Using a Credit Balance to Print and Copy and Scan at a Ricoh Device

Displaying the Current Credit Balance

1. Log into the embedded terminal and open the YSoft SafeQ application.

2. The current credit balance is written at the bottom close to your username.

   
   

   

   

   The available balance consists of your personal balance and virtual balance minus the minimum balance set for your money account. If you are in debt, zero is displayed.

Printing with a Credit Balance

1. Select the jobs you want to print and start printing.
   

   

   

   Only print jobs for which you have enough credit balance will be printed.

2. The credit balance decreases.
   

   

   
   

   1. If the job parser is disabled or set only to analyze jobs, users are allowed to continue printing even after their credit balance is insufficient.

      

      When the current balance is not sufficient for a print job, a debt is registered to the user (if debt registration is enabled in YSoft SafeQ Payment System).

   2. When you try to print jobs for which you do not have enough credit balance, the job is not printed and stays in the waiting folder. You are informed about insufficient credit.  In this case, you have to deposit money to continue printing.
