Response provided:<br />

charge invoiced in arrears based upon actual volume printed e.g. 4.0p (£0.04) x 20,000<br />
prints = £800.<br />
The per page costs on Ricoh MFD’s vary depending on the actual device sourced.<br />
Typical examples as follows;<br />
MP C2051 (20 pages per minute) - £0.0457<br />
MP C2551 (25 pages per minute) - £0.0457<br />
