Printing volume adjustment system and printing volume adjustment method of a printer

Abstract

The present invention relates to a printing volume adjustment system for printers, comprising: a general server, which sends a first printing volume value to an agent server; at least one printer, which sends a first usage report message to the general server every preset period of time, and the first The usage report message includes the start time point, the end time point and the print usage, receives the second print volume value sent by the agency server, and sets the second print volume value as the current upper limit of the print quantity; at least one agent server , receiving the first usage report message sent by the head server, receiving the first print volume value sent by the head server, and sending a second print amount value to the printer under its jurisdiction through the head server, the second print amount value being smaller than the first print amount value A print volume value. The beneficial effects of the present invention are: flexibly allocate the upper limit of the print volume of each printer, realize the optimal allocation of printing resources, reduce the maintenance burden caused by the frequent replacement of the toner cartridge of the printer, and improve the user experience at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of printers, and in particular relates to a print volume adjustment system and a print volume adjustment method of a printer. Background technique [0002] Existing printers need to notify the manufacturer for replacement when the printer's consumables are used up, and the consumables between different manufacturers cannot be universal, which is also a way for manufacturers to earn high profits. The competition in the industry is becoming more and more fierce, and there is a service method in which maintenance is provided free of charge during the service period, and the service fee corresponding to the service period is charged. [0003] In order to make the printer work reliably and stably, the printing volume of the printer is usually set uniformly at the factory. For example, the printer can print 3000 pages per month within the load of the printer. The printing standards may be different for different t...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In order to solve the problems of heavy maintenance burden and poor user perception in the prior art, the present invention provides a shared printer system, which can flexibly allocate the upper limit of the printing volume of each printer within a fixed period of time, thereby realizing printing The optimal allocation of resources can effectively reduce the maintenance burden caused by the frequent replacement of toner cartridges in printers, and at the same time improve the user experience and facilitate product promotion.
