8.12 STATISTICS
Statistics stores certain printer actions ("events") in order to plan optimal printer service. The events recorded and
accumulated in the statistics are stored in the EEPROM in the form of statistic entries in a ring buffer. Older entries will be
overwritten by current ones. Each statistic entry includes the event type, the associated accumulated count, and required
administrative information. The individual events are accumulated in 40-bit counters, a single statistic entry can thus
max. 1,099,511,627,775 events included. The ring buffer is capable of storing a total of 2048 such statistics entries -
distributed across all event types. The counter readings are updated with each event directly in the RAM and written as
statistics entries from time to time in the background into the EEPROM. The counter readings in the statistics entries are
not resettable. Converted into appropriate units, they can be read out by command. It should be noted that by randomly
switching the printer on and off without using the shut-down command
(ATTENTION: command exists only for systems
with disabled VCC)
, it may happen that individual statistics entries are not or not completely be written before the voltage
supply of the EEPROM broke-down. The next time you turn it on, the most up-to-date statistics entries in the EEPROM
must be used as the basis for the further event counting. This particularly concerns data on the running performance of
the printer or printhead, which can then show significant errors.
