Counter Information
In B&W mode, B&W pages printed after a color page are counted as black and white. In ACS
mode, these pages are counted as color mixed pages.
By default, once the ITB (image transfer belt) unit has moved into contact with all the color drums
to print a color page, it remains in this position throughout the end of the job, even if there are
B&W pages following the color page. (See Note 2 below). For example, when sending 5 pages as
one print job and the second page and fifth page contain color data, the ITB unit moves into
contact with all the color drums just before printing the second page. It then remains in contact
with the drums until all 5 pages have been printed out.

In this example, the counters would then increment as shown in the table below.

Note 1: The counters count up in the manner explained above, in order to accurately reflect the number of color
and B&W outputs made. This means that when printing B&W pages after a color page has been printed, the color
counters do not count up (even when the color drums and development units rotate). So the usage of the various
drums is not reflected accurately.
Note 2: On this model, there is an SP mode (Sp2-907-002: ACS On/Off Setting) which makes it possible to move
the ITB back to the default position, separated from the four drums, in the middle of a job. The default is 0 (ACS
Off), which produces the same result, as with previous products, which use ACS, i.e. once the ITB contacts the
four drums to print a color page, it does not separate from the drums until job end.
And there is an SP mode (SP2-907-001: Continuous Bk Pages). The values of this SP set the number of Bk
sheets that need to pass the ITB consecutively for the ITB to return to default position. For example, with a setting
of 3, the ITB will separate from the drums after three consecutive Bk sheets are printed (at that time, in the middle
of the job). Changing the position of the ITB takes a few seconds and increases the wear on the drums.
