ABSTRACT:
A printer specific stream of bits is received, before or while the printing of a print job, and translated into a pixel count specific to the print job and indicative of the anticipated toner usage for the print job. This pixel count then is added to a global pixel count indicative of toner usage of jobs printed since a global pixel counter was reset.
