G130/G131 Product Support Guide Auto Color Selection (ACS) and Total Counters B&W pages after a color page has been printed are counted as B&W for B&W and color mixed originals in ACS even if Meter Charge mode (SP5-930-001) is on or off. After the transfer unit has moved into contact with all the color PCUs to print a color page, the transfer unit does not detach from the color PCUs during a print job even for B&W page printing. For instance, if sending 10 sets of 5 pages as one job and only the 2nd page contains color, the transfer belt unit moves into contact with all the color PCUs for the 2nd page of 1st set. Then it stays in contact with all the PCUs until all 50 pages have been printed. B&W 1st Color 2nd B&W 3rd B&W 4th Color 5th When you send the above print job, the machine counts as shown in the following table. SP Number Type of counter Counter SP8-581004 D: Color 6 SP8-581- D: B&W 5 005 SP8-581008 P: Color 2 SP8-581009 P: B&W 3 D: Developments (Color = CMY PCUs, B&W = K PCU) C: Copies The counters count up in the manner explained above, in order to reflect the number of color and black/white outputs accurately. This means that, while printing B&W pages after a color page has been printed, the color counters do not count up even when the color PCUs and development units rotate, so the usage of the various PCUs is not reflected accurately.
