Paper Save
M116/M117 7-4 SM
To check the paper consumption, look at the total counter and the duplex counter.
The total counter counts all pages printed.

For one duplex page, the total counter goes up by 2.

For a duplex job of a three-page original, the total counter goes up by 3.
The duplex counter counts pages that have images on both sides.

For one duplex page, the duplex counter goes up by 1.

For a duplex job of a three-page original, the duplex counter will only increase by 1, even
though two sheets are used.
Total counter
This machine has a total sides printed counter only (so a duplex print is counted as two, not one).
You can check the total counter in the "Service Mode" or the “Menu”.

Service Mode
"Eng Maintenance" > "Total Counter" > "Engine Counter"

Menu
“List/Test Print” > “Config. Page” or “Maintenance Pg.”
The following table shows paper savings and how the counters increase for some simple
examples of single-sided and duplex jobs
