What counts as a printed page ?

[Al2121]

How exactly  are page counts calculated? If I print a page that consists of just  text  is it counted the same as a page that is half text and half graphics. In other words if I print 20 pages that are all text, and that same day another 20 that are half text and half graphics, will I be debited a total of 40 pages? Since less ink is used it seems like the text only pages should not be counted as a full page.

A printed page is any sheet (or side) of paper on which anything is printed.

Content can be a single word (or image or letter) or the content can cover the page - there is no difference.

1 side = 1 Printed page count

2 sides (duplex) = 2 printed pages
