Test Record
The Operation Verification Program provides a detailed test record
when a printer is used with the controller. If manual performance
tests are done, results of the performance tests may be tabulated in
the HP
Performance Test Record at the end of this section. The
HP Performance Test Record lists all of the tested specifications
and the acceptable ranges for the measurement values obtained
during the tests.
