You can view billing meter information at the control panel or from Xerox CentreWare® Internet Services. The billing meter displays the total number of impressions that the printer generated or printed during its lifetime. You cannot reset the counters. A page is counted as one side of a sheet of paper. For example, a sheet of paper that is printed on two sides counts as two impressions.

Note: If you provide regular billing information for your device, you can use SMart eSolutions to simplify the process. You can enable SMart eSolutions to send billing meter readings to Xerox automatically so that you do not have to collect the readings manually.

Viewing Billing Information at the Control Panel

  1. At the printer control panel, press the Home button.

  2. Touch Device.

  3. Touch Billing Meters.
