This machine has a black meter and a colour meter. It has a minimum charge of $50 per month. No estimates/averages will be calculated against this machine. The machine will have service reads.

 

 

The first month, we get a read of 53,000 for black, and 10,400 for colour – the following job is created:

 

 

In this instance, the minimum charge is not required because we have billed the client the minimum dollar amount. If, in the second month we record a reading of 55,000 black and 10,500 colour, the following job is created:

 

 

In this instance, the black and colour meters only charge the client $33 Inc. tax, so the minimum charge meter makes up the difference so that the client is billed the correct minimum amount of $55 inc. tax.
