Hi,

 

Generally the initial setup pages do not count but fax received/sent conformation sheets etc would count.

Hi,

 

The printer firmware keeps count of the total number of pages counted and what cartrdiges are present and when it come back online, it passes this informtion to the instant ink servers.
