Hello jen,
Look on the operator control panel and you will see a little button below the power button. It says counter. Press it and look at the counter named "101". This counter represents the sheets of paper (regardless of size) that have successfully exited the device. The other counters you see, well, lets just say they are of no value. Now you could have a tech come out and "configure" the counters you see.My company sets the device to display "102"(counts 11x17 as 2 clicks), "109"(just black and white),"124"(color). Have a good day and please let "FIXYA" know I helped you. :-) SPINAL
Hi sophie,
Look to the far right of the operator contol panel, past the 9 key pad and you will see a "little button" called COUNTER check. Press it and it will tell you your meter reading.This screen can be configured "by a service tech" to allow you to view the count of up tp 6 different meter counts depending on the function you wish to monitor. The basic meter reading is named "101". That because there are hundreds of funtions that are always monitored and they name them 101,102,103 etc. 101 counts the number of sheets of paper that have exited the copier. "102" does the same except it counts 11x17 [ledger] as 2 copies as 11x17 is really 2 letter size sheets. So my company uses this meter for billing purposes so we ADD the 102 meter to the list of viewable meters. Again this can be configured to the customers needs or the service provider needs. You can set it to view just black and white, just color, or even how many copies were made at 64%. its wild. But the 101 meter is the default and cannot be removed or altered. I sure how I helped you. Please let "FIXYA" know.The pat me on the head when I do good. :-) Take care . SPINAL
Hello joe,hope you are well.Canon copiers have literally hundreds of "meters " that the device is constantly monitoring.Things like the number of 11x17 scans,reports printed,incoming faxes,outgoing faxes,prints at 600 dpi....etc.Its wild.The device is capable of displaying to the customer a total of six meters.The displayed meters may be customized for the customer by a technician as per the customers request or needs.Each meter is named by a number,for example "101".That particular meter indicates the total of how many sheets of paper(regardless of size) that have successfully exited the machine.102 meter indicates the total number of sheets that have been output using 8.5 X 11' as the basis.So a sheet of 11x17 paper would increment the 101 meter once,but the 102 meter would "click" twice.For billing purposes my company keeps an eye on the 102 meter to maximize profit,as it should be.Now how Canon determined the display of the other meters you see is a mystery.Again there is a meter named 958,which is the number of documents scanned to the MAILBOX. So, to completely answer your question: 108 is the total black and white copies made regardless of size.230 is just color and monocolor regardless of size.321 is{your gonna love this one}color prints on 11x17.322 is color prints on 8.5x11.So there ya' go! TMI city!!! Hope this helps.
this one is easy... there is a button on the control panel that says counter check. its not very big but all you have to do is push it and it will display all the copies large and small and a total for them.
This not really a problem. Canon Copiers have various counters that track the counts of Various sized papers. Long, short and the like. The only counter that really matters in the 101 or total counter. This the counter that tracks every piece of paper that goes through the copier. This is the counter used to track copy usage. If you have a service contract this the counter the dealership will use to track copies for billing. Ignore anything but the total counter.
Press the counter check button. What counters do you see. There can be up to 6 different ones I believe. What counter numbers do you see e.g. 101: Total 1
Counters to display can be set using Service Mode. Press Additional Functions > 2,8 > Additional Functions.
Copier > Option > User > COUNTER1,COUNTER2,COUNTER3,COUNTER4,COUNTER5,COUNTER6
Default's are COUNTER1: 101, COUNTER2: 103, COUNTER3: 201, COUNTER4: 203. COUNTER5, COUNTER6 none.
You could try entering those counters.
The counters could have been reset. It is apparently possible but certainly not advisable to do so without permission from Canon.
there are two types of counter : mechanical total counter is infront of the machine just open the frontdoor cover its on the left side if there is 3 counter , the topmost counter is the total.
if you want to see the e-counter press *(with head)> 2&8 at the same time then* (with head)the display will change press COPIER>COUNTER you will see all the counter, usually this counter does not match with the mechanical one
On the left side of the on/off switch is there a small button mark with 123 press that button and the meter reading will display.
101 TOTAL ***** -that will be the total of copies,printing,and fax receiving on A4
103 TOTAL LARGE ******-this is the total of the A3 copies,printing and fax receiving made
201 COPY(TOTAL) -this is the total A4 copies
203 COPY(TOTAL LARGE)-this is the total for A3 copies.
