Understanding Page Counters
Page Counters are included in Status information.
Counter Type Definition
Image Counter This counter reflects the number of images (sides) printed for the printer.
Toner Page Count This counter reflects the number of pages printed using the installed cartridge.
Sheet Counter This counter displays the number of sheets (one sheet equals two sides) the printer
has printed.
Usage Count This counter calculates usage by image count regardless of page size. Simplex pages
equal one, while duplex pages equal two images.
A Usage.csv file is stored in User Flash that includes information about the printer
(such as Product Name, Serial Number, and Date) and the Usage Counter values. This
file is in comma-separated-value format and can be accessed via the printer’s File
Management web page.
The printer can also be configured, via the EWS, to generate an email that includes
Usage Counter information. The email will be sent on the first of each month (or the
first time the printer is powered on in any new month). The email contains the
Usage.csv file.
Fuser Count This counter counts images. Pages larger than A4/Letter are counted as two images.
Pages that are Letter/A4 or smaller are counted as 1 image in simplex mode and 2
images in duplex mode. Pages larger than Letter/A4 are counted as 2 images in
simplex mode and 4 images in duplex mode.
