*Electronic billing meter (count) function and backup
The monochrome and color meters have backup meters.
The printer compares the main and backup meters when the power is turned ON.
If there is a discrepancy between the main and backup meters, the hardware of both
meters is diagnosed by read/write tests.
1. If either or both meters are abnormal, a fatal error (C/E call) is assumed.
The C/E replaces ESS-PWB.
2. If both diagnostic results are correct, the main meter is believed.
The main meter is copied to the backup meter for matching.
Then the mismatching is counted as an abnormality recovered automatically as a
non-critical error.
