• Total Duplex

  Indicates the total number of originals printed using the duplex printing function. Prints on both sides of a sheet of paper are counted as one print.

• Coverage Count.

  Indicates the total amount (%) of ink used for the color options below:

  • Full Color Coverage

  • Black Coverage

  • Economy Color Coverage

  • Black+Economy Color Cover.

• Coverage 0

  Indicates a print coverage ratio between 0 and 5%.

• Coverage 5

  Indicates a print coverage ratio between 5 and 20%.

• Coverage 20

  Indicates a print coverage ratio of 20% and higher.

"Coverage" means a coverage ratio, and a coverage ratio of 100 indicates the total amount of one ink used for all printable area on a sheet of paper. To find a coverage ratio, compare a coverage ratio of 100 with the actual consumption of ink.

The total amount of ink indicated by a coverage ratio of 100 varies depending on ink colors.

To specify a coverage ratio per page for multiple colors, calculate the total coverage ratios of the multiple colors.

• A Full Color Coverage count:

  (Full Color Coverage)=(Full Color Coverage (K))+(Full Color Coverage (C))+(Full Color Coverage (M))+(Full Color Coverage (Y))

  Ex.:

  Multiple color consumption on a sheet of paper

  K: 3%, C: 8%, M: 7%, Y: 2%

  (3% + 8% + 7% + 2% = 20%)

  Full Color Coverage: 00000020

• A coverage ratio calculation for full color printing per page:

  (Full Color Coverage)/(Total Full Color)

  Ex.:

  Total Full Color: 00000888

  Full Color Coverage: 00007692

  7692 / 888 = 8.7%

Coverage Count. figures are rounded off to one decimal place.
