The account selection popup offers four account selection types:
Charge to personal account.
Charge/allocate to a shared account selected by a PIN.
Charge/allocate to a shared account from list (built from security group).
Perform print as another user (username and password required).
When a user selects the a shared account, there is the option to:
Charge the print to a shared account.
Charge the print to personal account (and allocate to shared account for reporting).
The option to charge a to personal account allows printing to be tracked against shared accounts while allowing the use of user-based quotas. When this option is selected, the cost of the print job is deducted from the user's personal account, but the job is allocated against the shared account which allows for account based print reporting.
System administrators can control on a per-user basis what options are available in the user's popup.
Note
Changes to the options available in the account selection popup come into effect immediately. There is no need to restart the client software for these settings to take effect.
The Charge to personal account with popup notification option displays a popup with no account selection features. This option is useful in environments where the system administrator desires to provide users with cost confirmation prior to printing.
