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. • The counter numbers you can check from the [Counter] menu on the display may differ from the counter numbers that appear on the system configuration page.
