Setting the page count, maintenance count, and serial number

 

The page counts and serial numbers are stored in nonvolatile random-access memory

 

(NVRAM). If it is necessary to replace the formatter PCA, the page counts should be set to the

 

current value to reflect the age of the print engine and maintenance items. The procedure for

 

setting the serial number is similar to setting the page counts.

 

 

Note

Before replacing the formatter PCA, print a configuration page to verify the current page count

 

and serial number of the printer, if possible. Use the information on the configuration page to reset

 

the page counts and serial number for the new formatter PCA.

 

 

 

 

Page count

 

 

The page count stored in NVRAM and shown on the configuration page printout represents the

 

number of pages that the printer has printed (excluding engine test prints). If it becomes

 

necessary to repair a printer by installing a new formatter, the page count must be set so that it

 

represents the age of the print engine rather than the age of the formatter.

 

The page count value is changed by using a different method than that used for other control

 

panel values. Instead of increasing the entire value by increments, each digit can be selected

 

and modified individually. The following control panel keys are used to modify the page count

 

value:

 

 

[SELECT]

Makes any changes to the current digit and advances the cursor one digit to the

 

 

right. If the last digit is currently selected, pressing [Select] wraps the cursor around

 

 

to the first digit.

 

[VALUE+]

Increases the value of the currently selected digit by one. Pressing [Value+] when 9

 

 

is the value of the currently selected digit changes the value of the digit to 0.

 

[-VALUE]

Decreases the value of the currently selected digit by one. Pressing [-Value]when 0

 

 

is the value of the currently selected digit changes the value of the digit to 9.
