About coverage counter
"Coverage" means a coverage ratio, and a coverage ratio of 100 indicates the total amount of
one ink used for all printable area on a sheet of paper. To find a coverage ratio, compare a
coverage ratio of 100 with the actual consumption of ink.
The total amount of ink indicated by a coverage ratio of 100 varies depending on ink colors.
To specify a coverage ratio per page for multiple colors, calculate the total coverage ratios of the
multiple colors.
• A Full Color Coverage count:
(Full Color Coverage)=(Full Color Coverage (K))+(Full Color Coverage (C))+(Full Color
Coverage (M))+(Full Color Coverage (Y))
Ex.:
Multiple color consumption on a sheet of paper
K: 3%, C: 8%, M: 7%, Y: 2%
(3% + 8% + 7% + 2% = 20%)
Full Color Coverage: 00000020
• A coverage ratio calculation for full color printing per page:
(Full Color Coverage)/(Total Full Color)
Ex.:
Total Full Color: 00000888
Full Color Coverage: 00007692
7692 / 888 = 8.7%
Coverage Count. figures are rounded off to one decimal place.
• Black and white files are counted as black and white prints even if color printing was specified.
