Checking Page Counts
The total number of printed pages can be checked at the operator panel. Three meters are available:
Meter 1
(color prints),
Meter 2
(monochrome prints), and
Meter 4
(
Meter 1
+
Meter 2
).
Meter 3
always shows
0
on
your printer.
The
Meter Readings
counts the number of pages printed properly. Single side print (including multiple up) is
counted as one page, and 2-sided print (including multiple up) is counted as two. During 2-sided printing, if an error
occurs after one side is printed properly, it is counted as one page.
When printing color data, which has been converted by using ICC profile on an application, with the Color setting,
the data is printed by color even if it seems to be black and white data on the monitor. In that case,
Meter 1
and
Meter 4
are increased.
When doing 2-sided printing, a blank page may be inserted automatically depending on the settings of the
application. In this case, the blank page is counted as one page. However, when doing 2-sided printing for odd
number of pages, the blank page inserted to the back side of the last odd page is not counted.
