Checking Page Counts
This section includes:
•Viewing the Billing Meter on page 121
•Printing the Print Volume Report on page 121
You can check the total number of printed pages at the printer control panel, on the Configuration 
page, and in CentreWare IS. Three meters are available: Total Impressions, Color Impressions, and 
Black Impressions. The billing meter counts the number of pages printed properly. Single-side print, 
including N-up, is counted as one impression, and 2-sided print, including N-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 that has been converted using an ICC profile on an application with the Color 
(Auto) setting, the data is printed in color even if it seems to be black and white data on the monitor. In 
that case, the number of Color Impressions is increased.
Note:Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting count as color pages because 
color consumables are used. This is the default setting on most printers.
When doing automatic 2-sided printing, a blank page may be inserted automatically depending on the 
settings in the application. In this case, the blank page is counted as one page.
Viewing the Billing Meter
The billing meter tracks the total number of pages printed for the life of the printer; it cannot be reset.

2. Press the Down Arrow button to go to Billing Meters and then press the OK button.
3. Arrow down to the desired meter. The number of printed pages is displayed below the name.
4. After checking, press the Menu button to exit the Billing Meters menu.
Printing the Print Volume Report

Volume report, which shows the information broken down by username and by how many pages of 
which size were printed in color and in black and white.

1. On the printer control panel, press the Menu button.
2. At Information Pgs, press the OK button.

Moving the Printer
Follow these procedures when moving the printer.
To view precautions and guidelines for safely moving your printer, see Safety on page 9.
The printer, with Tray 1 and consumables but without the optional duplex unit or 250-sheet feeder, 
weighs 18.6 kg (41 lb.). Configured with the optional duplex unit and 250-sheet feeder, the printer 
weighs 24.2 kg (53.24 lb.).
Before moving the printer, do the following:
1. Turn the printer off and disconnect the power cord and other cables from the back of the printer.
Wa rni n g:To prevent electric shock, never touch the power plug with wet hands. When removing 
the power cord, make sure that you pull the plug and not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage it, 
which can lead to fire or electrical shock.
2. Wait for the printer to cool down, about 40 minutes.
3. Remove any paper or other media from the output tray and return the paper stopper to its original, 
non-extended position.
4. Remove Tray 1 and set it aside.
Note:If the printer is to be moved over a long distance, the toner cartridges should be removed to 
prevent toner from spilling, and the printer should be packed inside a box.
5. If your printer configuration includes the 250-sheet feeder, remove it and its lower feeder unit by 
lifting the printer off it.
Wa rni n g:If the optional 250-sheet feeder has been installed, uninstall it before moving the 
printer. If these are not fixed securely to the printer, they may fall to the ground and cause injuries. 
For details on how to uninstall the options, refer to the instruction sheet that is bundled with each 
option.
Wa rni n g:To avoid injury, use two people to lift the printer off the lower feeder unit.

When moving the printer:
• Always use two people to lift and move the printer.
• When lifting the printer, grasp the areas as shown in the illustration.
• Do not tilt the printer more than 10 degrees to the front or back, or left or right. Tilting the printer 
more than 10 degrees may cause toner spillage.
Caution:Failure to repackage the printer properly for shipment can result in damage to the printer 
not covered by the warranty, Service Agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee.
After moving the printer:
1. Reinstall any parts you removed. If you removed the 250-sheet feeder, put the printer back on top 
of it.
2. Reconnect the printer to the cables and power cord.
3. Plug in and turn on the printer.
4. Adjust the color registration before using the printer. For details, see Color Registration on
