Q. What is the Lexmark Coverage Estimator?
A. The Lexmark Coverage Estimator uses an algorithm to count the picture elements (pixels) in the composite page to estimate the percent coverage for each colour, cyan, magenta, yellow and black. When the Coverage Estimator has been turned ON from the printer's operator panel Utility Menu, the calculated estimate is printed on a separate page at the end of the job. This handy tool allows you to quickly and easily determine the amount of cyan, magenta, yellow and black toner used on a given page, even in complex photographs and images. Understanding the cost of the page is then just a matter of a few simple calculations. The communication of content in many black and white documents can be improved for a nominal increase in cost when colour is added. Of course, the Coverage Estimator is only an estimate of the coverage on a given page. For each toner colour that is used, the minimum percentage reported will be two percent and reported values may vary from one printer to another. The accuracy of the estimates may be affected by the fullness of the print cartridges, environmental conditions, media type, application, application settings, driver, driver settings, and the content of the page. Lexmark makes no claim as to the accuracy of the estimated percents.
