Kyocera has a three-tiered billing system built in their MFPs and printers allowed the device to charge customers for light, medium and heavy toner use based on what is on that page.

The printer determines which level the print job is and then charges the customer accordingly. This is automated print management that allows Kyocera customers to pay for what they’re actually getting instead of a high flat fee for color prints that may contain as little as a single dot of color.
