Rates Card

The Rates Card defines the costing structure for printing based on various print attributes. Each combination of attributes such as paper size, color, and duplex assigned to a print job is given a specific point value, reflecting its cost. These point values can be adjusted as needed.

Note: The Rates Card is a global setting, applicable to all accounts and not tied to any specific account.

To view the rates card, navigate to Users > Account Management tab and then select the Rates Card button.

Key Attributes:

  • Paper Size: Small (Letter, A4), Large (11x17, A3), Default (Other sizes)

  • Mono/Color: Whether the print job is in color or monochrome (black and white).

  • Mono Duplex, Color Duplex: Double-sided (duplex) Mono or Double-sided Color printing.

Calculation Example:

When a user sends a print job, the system calculates the total points based on the combination of attributes selected. For example, the user submits 4 letter-sized, monochrome, duplex pages.

Each page costs 3 points (Letter, Mono, Duplex) based on the Rates Card

Total points for the job would be calculated as follows:

4 pages * 3 points = 12 points. Thus, 12 points will be deducted from the user’s point allocation for this print job.
