Brother will send replacement ink and toner cartridges as you need them. Your printer must be connected to your network/Wi-Fi router with internet access and connected to the Brother MPS Cloud. Your printer will automatically orders supplies when you are running low.
A printed page counts the same whether it’s black and white or colour. Pages are counted per printed side, thus a two-sided document would count as two printed pages. A3 print outs count as 2 pages.
Pages will be rolled over within the billing quarter. If your business uses less than the total page allowance within your billing quarter you will not be charged for any additional pages.

Choose a predictable quarterly payment plan with a choice of Low, Medium or High packages or only pay for the pages your business prints with pay as you print.

Extra pages will automatically be charged as your business uses them. You will be charged two different prices, one for pages that use only black ink or toner, and a different price per page for pages that require colour and black ink or toner.

If you are on pay as you print, you will be billed by the page.
