4. Relation between pixel count and toner consumption
The user's printing out the image with large coverage or high density may cause the large value of
pixel count. And the setting that toner consumption becomes high in the original mode or density
setting may cause it as well.
In this case, the replacement cycle of toner cartridge is faster than the standard number of output
pages. Therefore, this trend needs to be grasped for the service.
The relation between pixel count and number of output pages per cartridge is as follows:
Y
Y/2
X
X/2
Y/10
X/10
6% 12%
5. Pixel counter confirmation
- Display on LCD screen
Whether or not to display the pixel counter on the LCD screen is selected (0: Displayed, 1: Not
displayed) in the setting mode (08-1504), and whether or not to display it at the service techni-
cian reference or toner cartridge reference is selected (0: Service technician reference, 1: Toner
cartridge reference) in the setting mode (08-1505).
The following screen is displayed when the buttons, [COUNTER] and [PIXEL COUNTER] are
pressed in this order after "Displayed" is selected with the code above and the power is, as usual,
