The utility can be turned off from the operator panel or by turning the printer off.
The Coverage Estimator utilizes an algorithm that counts pixels for each toner color: black, cyan, magenta, and yellow.
Once the utility is turned on, the printer prints the percent coverage for each color on each page of the job.
The Coverage Estimator is only intended to estimate the coverage on a given page. For all toner colors that are used, the
minimum percentage that prints is 2 percent. Reported values may vary from printer to printer. The accuracy of the
estimates may be affected by how full the print cartridges are, environmental conditions, the media type, the software
application, software settings, the driver, driver settings, and the content of the page.
