(c) Pixel count (%)
Pixel count (%) shows the ratio of laser emitting pixels to all pixels on standard paper.
The examples of pixel count are as follows:
Note: In the following examples, ‘solid copy’ is considered to be 100%. But since the image has
4 margins, it never becomes 100% actually.
Ex.) 1. Printing 5 pages on A4/LT size with solid copy (Laser emits to all pixels.)
→
Pixel count: 100%, Print count: 5
2. Printing 5 pages on A4/LT size with blank copy (Laser never emits.)
→
Pixel count: 0%, Print count: 5
3. Printing 2 pages on A4/LT size with solid copy (Laser emits to all pixels.)
Printing 2 pages on A4/LT size with blank copy (Laser never emits.)
→
Pixel count: 50%, Print count: 4
4. Printing 3 pages on A4/LT size with 6% of laser emission
Printing 1 page on A4/LT size with 2% of laser emission
→
Pixel count: 5%, Print count: 4
5. Printing 2 pages on A3/LD size with solid copy (Laser emits to all pixels.)
→
Pixel count: 100%, Print count: 4
6. Printing 2 pages on A3/LD size with 6% of laser emission
→
Pixel count: 6%, Print count: 4
(d) Average pixel count (%) and latest pixel count (%)
There are 2 types of the value calculated as the pixel count, average pixel count (%) and latest
pixel count (%).
1. Average pixel count (%)
The average value of all pixel count data after each reference data is cleared is calculated
and displayed.
2. Latest pixel count (%)
The value is displayed for printing just before the pixel counter is confirmed.
