There are a few features that help the tracking of toners process:
▪Any consumable or spare part can be set up with a yield in the stock code, which means Jim2 knows how much each consumable or part should last.
▪Using Jim2 email, you can take individual meter reads from a Consumable Alert email and add them as a service read, so you know machine page count.
▪The Consumable preview pane (see below) records time between toner supplies for each consumable, last job, last meter read.
The advantage of getting a meter reading each time is that information in Jim2 is as accurate as it can be.
With meter collection tools these days and device alerts it is much easier to gather this information, and it's not hard to condition your clients to provide a meter read and machine number at the time of ordering the consumable, you can even set up your web pages to reflect the changes.
