Checking Page Count on the Phaser 6010 Printer

For accounting and maintenance purposes, the printer counts each page that is printed successfully,
then stores the count in a set of billing meters. There are three billing meters:
• Total Impressions provides a count of the total pages that have been printed.
• Color Impressions provides a count of the number of color pages that have been printed.
• Black Impressions provides a count of the number of black and white pages that have been
printed.
The billing meter counts the number of pages printed properly. 1-sided prints, including N-up, are
counted as one impression, and 2-sided prints, including N-up, are counted as two. During 2-sided
printing, if an error occurs after one side is printed properly, it is counted as one.
Color documents converted using an ICC profile on applications with the Color (Auto) setting can print
in color, even if displayed in black and white. The data prints in color even if it seems to be black and
white data on the monitor. In that case, Total Impressions and Color Impressions are increased.
Note: Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting count as color pages because
color consumables are used.
When doing 2-sided printing, a blank page can be inserted automatically depending on the settings in
the application. In this case, the blank page is counted as one page.
