Step by step
- Open the machine and click the Meters & readings tab.
- At the bottom of Meters, type a name in Add meter, e.g. Scan, A3 colour.

- To change a meter, open Rename, switch off or delete a meter: type a new name and press Rename, or press Switch off (or Switch on) or Delete.
Where meters come from
When you add a machine, the Meters choice creates the usual ones (Mono, Colour, Scans or Total). Choose Set up later to add them here instead.
Contract click charges, reading requests and engineer readings all use these meters.
Questions
Can I rename or remove a meter?
Yes, under Rename, switch off or delete a meter. A meter that is switched off keeps its readings and is not asked for in reading requests. Only owners and admins can delete a meter, and only one with no readings.
