Parts - Add Part Definition Part Meters

A Part Meter (or print meter) is a mechanism within the equipment item that tracks the volume of paper used and the type of print made (mono or colour).

These meters help monitor usage, estimate equipment lifespan, calculate running costs and budget accordingly.

In summary, Part Meters provide essential insights for the efficient management of equipment and resources.
