Mode 2 Operational Modes

A PageCounter terminal using Mode 2 communication can support one of three different 
modes:

• Photocopy Mode—The terminal tracks copies made at a photocopier.

• Print Release Mode—The terminal holds printed documents in a queue until an 

authorized user releases or deletes them.

• Photocopy and Print Release Mode—The terminal tracks copies made at a photocopier 

and holds printed documents in a queue until an authorized user releases or deletes 
them.

For PageCounters using Mode 2 communication, the configuration options for the 
operational mode reside within the system software (Equitrac Office or Equitrac Express); 
you cannot use the menu options on a terminal using Mode 2 communication to change 
the terminal’s operational mode.
