							The Billing Meters counts the number of pages printed properly. Single side color print (including
Multiple-Up) is counted as one job, and 2-sided print (including Multiple-Up) is counted as two.
During 2-sided printing, if an error occurs after one side is printed properly, it is counted as one.
When printing color data, which has been converted by using ICC profile on an application, with the
Color setting, the data is printed by color even if it seems to be black and white data on the monitor. In
that case, Color Impression and Total Impression are increased.
When doing 2-sided printing, a blank page may be inserted automatically depending on the settings of
the application. In this case, the blank page is counted as one page. However, when doing 2-sided
printing for odd number of pages, the blank page inserted to the rear side of the last odd page is not
counted.
The following procedure uses Windows XP as an example.
To check a meter at the Printer Setting Utility:
