Solved: What is the current total page count for my printer - HP Support Community

CaseyT · ‎10-17-2017

Hello all. I've got an HP LaserJet 5200tn. The screenshots show the current "Usage Totals" section and "Print Modes & Paper Path Usage" section of the Usage page (sorry for the fuzzy quality).

Is the current total page count for my printer 271242.8 or 267784?

Thanks for the help.

Total page count is posted at teh end of the report. According to your attachment its 267784. That number is further broken down by the corresponding trays if you read the previous few lines.

The stats at the top of the report are weighted according to the simplex unit to show how much paper has run through it. Notice how envelopes have a weight of 0.4 where letter jobs have 1.0. Legal is 1.3. This descrepency throws off the results and gives you an odd final value which ends in a decimal instead of a whole number.

Notice how each of the sections are also notated with (equivilant) and (actual) too. The actual numbers are at the bottom and are likely the ones you are concerned about.
