    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 displays.

  3. When you try to print jobs you do not have enough credit balance for, the following two situations could occur.

    1. 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.

      This message displays only when job parser with image rendering is enabled in your Dispatcher Paragon configuration.

      A negative account balance can be enabled. Contact your Dispatcher Paragon administrator for more details.

    2. Only those pages you have credit balance for are printed. Then the printing stops and the job is suspended.

      This message displays only when job parser with image rendering is disabled in your Dispatcher Paragon configuration.

      It is not possible to print, copy, or scan on the device unless the suspended job is deleted.

      A negative account balance can be enabled. Contact your Dispatcher Paragon administrator for more details.

      In this case, you have two options:

      Continue to step 4 a to deposit credit balance and continue printing, OR

      Continue to the step 4 b to stop printing and delete the suspended job.

    1. If you want to deposit credit balance and continue printing:

      1. Make the deposit.

      2. Tap the Limit button.

      3. Tap the suspended job. A prompt message appears.

      4. Tap the Yes button.

Copying with a Credit Balance

  1. Enter the copy menu and start copying.

    Only copy jobs you have enough credit balance for will be copied.

    If you have an available credit balance for only a few copies, these copies will be performed and charged, and the rest refused.

    A negative account balance can be enabled. Contact your Dispatcher Paragon administrator for more details.
