On many printers, when you want to find out the current page count or meter you print out a status page. This page shows some basic information about the printer, including the page count. Depending on the brand of printer, this status page will be called something different (HP printers call it a configuration page; Brother printers call it a user settings list) and there will be a different procedure for printing it out. On the Lexmark T642 printer, this page is called a menu settings page, and it can be printed by following the steps below.
- Press the Menu button on the printer's operation panel (located on the left side, with a picture of a key on it).
- In the menu, the entry with the check mark next to it is the active entry. Scroll down (using the down arrow on the operation panel) until Reports is the active entry. Press the check mark button (in the middle of the four arrows) to select it.
- Menu Settings Page is the first option in the Reports menu, so it will already be the active entry. Press the check mark button to select it. The menu settings page will print out.
- The page count will be listed in the Device Information section (probably on the last page). "Page Count" will be the first entry in that section.
🛈 The Menu Settings Page is actually multiple pages. Its exact length will be determined by the printer's configuration, network setup, and the accessories that are installed on it.
🛈 In addition to the page count, the Menu Settings Page also displays other information about the printer, such as the current toner level, a list of installed options, device settings, and network configuration.
🛈 These instructions also apply to other Lexmark models, including the T640.
