A remote copier monitor system provides data transmission with minimal copier inconvenience and lessened carrier rates. One or more monitors are provided with the document processing machine, such as a copier. The monitor includes its own intelligence, memory, real time clock, and data transmitter. The monitor is provided with information relating to carrier rates associated with time or date. The system monitors activities such as copies being made and machine on time. The information is correlated with that obtained from the real time clock and the toll rate schedule data to initiate a remote data contact and transfer.
