Page count print - Canon LASER SHOT LBP-2900 Printer

On Ricoh's Aficio line of copiers, you can get the page count without having to print out a configuration page or status page. To see the page count of an Aficio copier, follow the steps below.

For models with touch screens:

With the copier turned on, press the User Tools/Counter button on the operation panel. (If User Tools and Counter are two separate buttons on the model you are using, press the Counter button, and the page count will be displayed -- that's all there is to it.) When the User Tools menu appears on the screen, press the Counter button on-screen (typically located in the lower left or lower right corner).

The copier's page count will be displayed on the screen. For copiers with additional functions (such as printing) the page count will also be broken down by function. Color copiers will display a color page count and a black and white page count, but not a total count.

You can print out a hard copy of the page count if you want it for your records, or to fax somewhere. To print the counter, press the Print button on the screen, then press the Start button (on the right side of the operation panel).

For models without a touch screen:

With the copier turned on, press the User Tools/Counter button on the operation panel (typically located just to the left or right of the display screen). The User Tools options will appear. If Counter is the highlighted option, press the OK button to select it; otherwise, use the arrow buttons to select Counter, then press OK.

The counter will be displayed on screen, but you can print it out by pressing the selection button below where Print is displayed, then pressing Start.

To obtain a page count (also called a meter reading) from a Brother HL-6050 printer, follow the steps below. (This procedure also applies to the HL-6050D and the HL-6050DN models.)

A. When the machine is on and ready to print, press any of the following keys to bring up the menu: Set, Back, +, or -.

B. The first menu heading that appears is Information; press Set to select it.

C. Use the + or - keys to scroll through the Information menu until you see Maintenance.

D. Press Set to select it.

E. The first option that you'll see is Page Counter; press Set to view the count.

The number of pages printed so far will appear on the screen. Once you've seen or recorded this number, keep pressing the Back button until you're back at the Ready screen.

If you would rather have a printout with the page count on it, you can get that instead by simply pressing the Set button three times from the Ready screen. The first time you press it you'll bring up the menus, the second time you'll select the Information menu, and the third time you'll select Print Settings. When you choose Print Settings, three pages of information will print out, showing supply usage, jam counters, and machine settings. On the second page, about halfway down the page under the <Device Status> heading, you'll see the page count. Beneath the page count, you can also find the number of pages printed from each paper tray, as well as the page count broken down by paper size (for example, letter-size paper, legal-size paper, or envelopes).
