The Canon Duty Counter billing method is supported for the following Canon
large format printer series:
- TX (TX-3000, TX-4000, TX-3100, TX-4100)
- TM (TM-200, TM-300, TM-305)
- TA (TA-20, TA-30)
- PRO (PRO-1000, PRO-2000, PRO-2100, PRO-4000, PRO-4100, PRO-6000, PRO-6100)
- TZ-30000
Canon Duty Counters are lifetime usage counters that separate printing into
the following five categories based on the ink used in the document:
- A - Line drawing
- B - Office document
- C - Low coverage poster
- D - High coverage poster
- E - Full coverage poster
Duty Counter totals can be verified by the end-users by printing a meter
read sheet from the printer’s panel.
Duty Counters are aggregated by Canon and are not available for per-record
detail information.
Canon Duty Counters vs Canon Ink Coverage
Printerpoint supports two different category-based billing methods for Canon iPF printers.
Canon Duty Counters
- Supported only on newer models (TA, TM, TX, TZ, PRO Series)
- Lifetime counters that can be imported into ECI e-automate
- Duty Counters are shown on printer meter read sheet for user-verifiable backup
- Aggregate only, not shown on per-record billing details or in Customer Portal Print Tracking
- Calculated by Canon
Ink Coverage
- Supported on all Canon iPF models
- Monthly usage, not a lifetime counter, cannot be imported into ECI e-automate
- Not displayed on printer meter read sheet
- Displayed per print job in billing details and Customer Portal Print Tracking
- Calculated by Printerpoint
