Xerox Meters

[easiprint]

Hi

Can any one tell me how the meters count on Xerox machines, especially the DC5252/DC2045/etc.

My understanding was that there were 4 meters:

A - Total colour prints (any size)
B - Total black prints (any size)
C - Total Large Colour prints (A3+)
D - Total prints (A+B)

Therefore there is not a meter which counts only A4 prints? A colleague of mine is saying that the first meter counts A4's (ie an A3 would count as two clicks on meter A), but I am not so sure?

Thanks for helping to settle a debate!!!!!!

Counter A: Counts A4 once, counts large sheets once
Counter C: Counts large sheets once.

So if you print 5 A4's and then 1 A3
Counter A: 6 click
Counter C: 1 Click

If you print 3 A4's and 8 A3
Counter A: 11 clicks
Counter C: 8 clicks

So counter A does not count just A4's but if you add A and C together you get the total amount of "A4 equivalent" clicks. This is usually what all of the maintenance counts go off of and also what is normally referenced when talking about total clicks.
