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 are counted.

 

 

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.
