The [Maintenance] section of the [System] view displays 3 types of counters. 2 of these counters provide information about the number of sheets that have been printed. The other counter provides information about the amount of toner that has been used.

General counter information

The following table describes the counters in the [Maintenance] section of the [System] view.

Type of counter

Description

[Billing counters]

The [Billing counters] section displays the total number of prints that have been made since the machine was installed. You cannot reset the billing counters.

[Day counters]

The [Day counters] section displays the number of prints that have been made since the counter was last reset to 0. You can, for example, reset the day counters at the beginning of a working day or before you start a new job for a particular customer.

[Toner counters]

The [Toner counters] section displays the amount of toner that has been used since the machine was installed. You cannot reset the toner counter.

The [Billing counters] and the [Day counters] provide information about the number of 1-sided and 2-sided prints that have been made on standard-size and large media. The length of the media determines whether a media is standard size or large. Media with a length of less than 390 mm (15.35") are referred to and counted as standard-size media. Media with a length of 390 mm (15.35") or more are referred to and counted as large media.

The control panel displays the media icon ( or ) as a small icon for standard-size media. For large media, the media icon is big. The media icon is used in various places on the control panel, for example in the [Counters] section, in the [Trays] view and in the job information.
