Checking Page Counts

This section includes:

•Viewing the Billing Meter on page 115

•Printing the Print Volume Report on page 115

You can check the total number of printed pages at the printer control panel, on the Configuration Page, and in CentreWare Internet Services. Three meters are available: Total Impressions, Color Impressions, and Black Impressions. The billing meter counts the number of pages printed properly. 1-sided prints, including N-up, are counted as one impression, and 2-sided prints, including N-up, are counted as two. During 2-sided printing, if an error occurs after one side is printed properly, it is counted as one.

Color documents converted using an ICC profile on applications with the Color (Auto) setting can print in color, even if displayed in black and white. The data prints in color even if it seems to be black and white data on the monitor. In that case, the number of Color Impressions is increased.

Note: Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting count as color pages because color consumables are used. Composite black is the default setting on most printers.

When doing automatic 2-sided printing, a blank page can be inserted automatically depending on the settings in the application. In this case, the blank page is counted as one page.
