This contract has a black meter and a minimum charge of $25.00 per month.
The first month, no read is recorded and billing is skipped by clicking Skip Billing Cycle:
The following month, a read of 64,000 (4,000 pages) is recorded. Note, it shows the skipped billing job from previous.
The following job is generated, which calculates the minimum charge as 2 x $25.00 = $50.00 ex tax.
