Abstract
A printing machine comprising a processor and a memory storing computer readable instructions. The computer readable instructions are arranged to cause the processor to generate access request data for processing by an access control server, receive access response data responsive to the access request data, process the access response data to determine a first print limit indicated by the access response data, and update, responsive to processing the access response data, an access status in the memory to indicate a second print limit.

A printing machine comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory storing computer readable instructions arranged to cause the processor to:
- generate access request data for processing by an access control server;
- receive access response data responsive to the access request data;
- process the access response data to determine a first print limit indicated by the access response data;
- and
- update, responsive to processing the access response data, an access status in the memory to indicate a second print limit.
A method for controlling access to a printing function of a printing machine, comprising, at the printing machine:
- generating access request data for processing by an access control server;
- receiving access response data responsive to the access request data;
- processing the access response data to determine a first print limit indicated by the access response data;
- and
- updating, responsive to processing the access response data, an access status in the memory to indicate a second print limit.
