A machine with three meters for colour page counts based on coverage (low, medium and high), plus a fourth meter for black. The final meter is the total calculated for the three colour meters.

 

Info

You will need separate stock codes for each meter setup. Jim2 does not allow duplicate stock codes in a meter setup.

 

Stock must be set up prior to adding meters, including macro descriptions on the Machines tab.

 

Example Macros

{{Project.Meter.Counter Name" "}}{{"Last Read - "Project.Meter.Job.Previous Job.Meter Read" "}}{{"Last Estimated Read - "Project.Meter.Job.Previous Job.Estimated Meter Read" "}}{{Project.Meter.Job.Previous Job.Date Due" "}}{{"Current Read - "Project.Meter.Job.Meter Read" "}}{{"Estimated Read - "Project.Meter.Job.Estimated Meter Read" "}}{{"Prints - "Project.Meter.Job.Qty" "}}{{"Estimated Prints - "Project.Meter.Job.Estimated Qty" "}}

 

Users need to set the colour coverage level percentages at the machine itself, and turn the three meters to on. Each meter needs its own stock code (see image below), and on the Machines tab of the consumable stock (not the meter stock), Yield must be entered (this is a percentage). An example might be:

 

Tier 1 Yield 5

Tier 2 Yield 15

Tier 3 Yield 50

 

The machine will provide the three meter page counts.

 

3 tier total colour

 

Info

At the Meter Billing job stage, the Total Colour (Calculated) will not appear. This will, however, appear on the resulting job.

 

Customers receive an invoice showing CPC for total colour cost and the total number of colour pages. The Colour Tier meters are hidden (greyed out lines) and selected as Non-Billable, and the resulting job:
