- Black & white (BW) count

- Device details: When submitting readings, include the equipment identifier shown in the request (for example: device location, make/model and serial or equipment reference) so readings are recorded against the correct machine.
- Submission channel: Use the designated meter readings submission channel specified in your meter reading notice. That channel is intended only for meter reading submissions.
- Other requests: If you need to log a service call or order toner, send those queries to service@unitedbusiness.co.za (do not submit service or order requests through the meter readings submission channel).
