Control device and printing apparatus

A control device comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• permit a user to use an electronic apparatus,
• wherein, in a case where a sum of a cumulative amount of use of the electronic apparatus by the user for a predetermined period of time included in an accounting period and a new amount of use newly instructed by the user exceeds a permitted amount for the predetermined period of time, and in a case where an unreaching period for which the cumulative amount of use does not reach the permitted amount is present in the accounting period and before the predetermined period of time, the processor permits the user to use the electronic apparatus by an amount based on an unused amount, which is a difference between the permitted amount and the cumulative amount of use in the unreaching period.

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• permit a user to perform printing;
• wherein, in a case where a sum of a cumulative number of printed sheets of the user for a predetermined period of time included in an accounting period and a new number of sheets to print newly instructed by the user exceeds a permitted number of sheets for the predetermined period of time which is permitted for the user, and in a case where an unreaching period for which the cumulative number of printed sheets does not reach the permitted number of sheets is present in the accounting period and before the predetermined period of time, the processor permits the user to perform printing based on a number of unused sheets, which is a difference between the permitted number of sheets and the cumulative number of printed sheets in the unreaching period.
