Meter readings are used to accurately bill your customers for the amount of prints they have made. These readings can be further utilised by your sales team to distinguish which type of machine will be most advantageous to your customer. If your customer is linked to a contracted volume on their service plan, they will also rely on meter reports for accurate billing and for judging whether their contracted volume is appropriate.
