The CCI is configurable in the Settings Editor of the controller.
If the setting 'CCI configured' is set to "not configured" the CCI functionality is not available.
In order for the service engineer to make prints during SDS or SCM the CCI device must be set to unconfigured by the Controller when switching to SDS or SCM mode.
If the setting "CCI count duplex as simplex" is set to "true" a duplex print will be counted as a simplex print.
If the setting "CCI count large as medium" is set to "true" a large print will be counted as a medium print. A large print is specified as a sheet with a long edge > 3900 mm.
NOTE
The parameters with which the CCD is set to account the clicks are different from the parameters with which the controller calculates the 'total counter".

All printed page-sides are accounted via CCI:
Simplex sheets result in one click
Duplex sheets result in two clicks
Large formats are counted twice
Insert sheets result in zero clicks
Error sheets (on which an image is fused) are also “clicked”
When the credits run out during a run, all separated sheets from the paper trays are printed and delivered correctly. The print engine stops printing, goes to standby and sets a runtime contradiction. The number of delivered sheets without booking a credit are approximately 10 to 14 sheets when printing from 1 PIM and 12 to 16 sheets when printing from 3 PIMs. This means that worst case a total of 63 (=((16 * 4) - 1)) clicks are not accounted.
NOTE
A duplex sheet is always printed, even when there is no credit available for the rear-side of the sheet.
To minimise the number of prints that are made when the credits run out, the printing (scheduling) should stop as soon as possible. The scheduler must not wait for the controller to set the engine to standby. To achieve this, the scheduling of new prints should be disabled in the embedded software at the moment it is detected that there are no (more) credits.
When an error occurs and set recovery is required, the user has to remove the partially delivered set and the set is printed again. Each printed image sheet side is clicked again. This is acceptable in a repro environment and set recovery does not occur very often. Set recovery occurs only after a tab error or clean job error.
