Thanks.

You can't physically change the printer's page count; it's stored in the non-volatile memory or read-only memory. Did you mean check the page count? You can check the page count by printing out a configuration page:

- Press Setup.
- Scroll to Reports.
- Press OK.
- Scroll to Config Report.
- Press OK.

The page counts and serial number on these units cannot be adjusted or overwritten. You are stuck with the zero count if you installed a new formatter, or the page count on the formatter if you installed a used one. Just put a label on the back that says, formatter changed at XXXXX pages.

To get the page count, press Function, then choose Data Registration, then #, then scroll down to Printer, press OK, scroll down to Page Count, press OK.

You can check your page count by counting number of pages printed. Page count is made of the pages that consists the newsletters.

If you don't have the paper manual, check out the manual on Konica-Minolta's website: DI151 User Manual

From page 4-2 and following of the paper manual or page 48 and following of the PDF document: When 12,345 shows on the Total Count display: <the readout shows:> ct 01 23 45
When 1,234 shows on the PM count display: <the readout shows:> CP 00 12 34

To select a Total Check function: Press and hold the Clear/Stop key for three seconds. The total count will be displayed. Press and hold the Clear/Stop key again for three seconds to display the PM count. Press the Clear/Stop key to return to the previous status mode.

From the way it's written in the manual (I've never seen this machine), it sounds like the readout will pop up

01
23
45

... etc., so you may need to have something to take notes on.
