Rule Example: How to track / restrict printer usage?

Restricting Printer Usage

You can use Printer-based rules to restrict the printer usage. For example, Restrict what documents can be printed, warn users about large print jobs to reduce waste, etc.

1. Create an Activity rule.
2. Select Printing under the types of activities.
3. Select the users the rule will apply to.
4. Specify the detection conditions for the Number of pages.
5. Select an action to take when the rule is violated. In this example, we used a Warn action.

2. Select the users the rule will apply to.
3. For the WHAT TRIGGERS THE RULE, select the Documents printed option.
4. For the rule’s condition, select Anomaly baseline.
5. Specify a risk level.
6. You can also specify a Notify action.
