Introduction The CM8060/CM8050 Edgeline firmware release version 20091130 77.018.0 provides a new page counting methodology, known as the Print Usage Tracker feature, which can be enabled if desired. Current page counting methods were designed to enable efficient service and support. The Print Usage Tracker feature implements new page counting methods which are more aligned with today’s job accounting needs.

The document is printed on two sheets of paper and includes two sides with color ink applied (exceeding the Color Accent threshold), one side with black only ink applied and one side that is blank. As a result the Professional Duplex count will increment by two and the Black Only Duplex count will increment by one.

Values in the “Duplex” column will be doubled and values in the Duplex “Units” column will be halved to reflect the new methodology’s focus on duplex sides. Values in the “Total” column will not change.
