GP 15 Storing User Parameters And Activity Counters On The
Machine
The condition of the printer consumable (print cartridge) is stored in EEPROM memory (on the
CPU card) and can be read via the command 8 6. This evaluation, provided in percentage for-
mat, indicates the remaining quantity of toner in relation to the consumable’s initial values.
The printer activity counters are also stored in flash (on the CPU card), they can be read via the
command 8 2 and can be printed via 5 6 (printing of parameters). These absolute counters
reflect the machine’s overall utilization regardless of the consumable:
• number of pages sent (3100MFP/X only),
• number of pages received (3100MFP/X only),
• number of pages printed,
• number of pages scanned.
CAUTION
Any major service on the machine (replacement of the CPU card, major upgrade of the machine
software) may lead to the permanent loss of the user parameters and the activity counter values.
Note: If such operations are necessary, print the parameters and counters ( 5 6) to retain a
copy. You can also store user parameters and directory entries on a smart card ( * 6) and
restore them ( * 9) after the machine is serviced.
