| electricity consumption while idle. If | |
|
| |
| the MFP remains inactive for the |
|
| period of time specified in the Power |
|
| Saver menu item (60 minutes is the |
|
| factory default), the Power Saver |
|
| message replaces the Ready |
|
| message. |

Printing | The MFP is printing a job. |

|
Printing page [x] | A sheet of print media moves |
|
| through the MFP to be printed. |
|
| x represents the number of the sheet |
|
| being printed. Even though a duplex |
|
|
| |
| called pages, it only counts as one |
|
| sheet. |
|
|
|
|
Printing page [x], | A sheet of print media moves |
|
copy [a]/[b] | through the MFP to be printed. |
|
| x represents the number of the sheet |
|
| being printed. Even though a duplex |
|
| sheet has two sides, called pages, it |
|
| only counts as one sheet, so pages |
|
| are not counted, only sheets passing |
|
| through the MFP. |
|
| The total number of sheets in a set is |
|
| not known, but the number of sets is |
|
| known. For example, a user may |
|
| have requested that three copies |
|
| print, so there are three sets of |
|
| sheets, but the number of sheets is |
|
| unknown. |
|
|
|
|
Printing page [x]/ | A sheet of print media moves |
|
[y], copy [a]/[b] | through the MFP to be printed. |
|
| x represents the number of the sheet |
|
| being printed. A sheet is considered |
|
| a front and back page of one piece |
|
| of print media. A group of sheets is |
|
| called a set. y represents the total |
|
| number of sheets in a set. |
|
| a is the number of the current set |
|
| printing. b is the total number of sets |
|
| to be printed. For example, a user |
|
| may send a |
|
| and select three copies to print, so |
|
| there are three sheets to print for |
|
| each job. This makes one set. Three |
|
| sets must print before the user has |
|
| the complete job. |
