All files are printed in a quantity equal to twice the manufacturer’s rated speed for the device. The raster
times/print speeds were tested at 600 dpi using the PCL 6 driver.
First-print time indicates the time it took to RIP, image and deliver the first page of the test document set
to the output tray.
BLI obtains the overall efficiency percentage by dividing the tested speed of
the device by the rated speed and then multiplying by 100 for each run length.
All jobs are based on a 10-page document printed at 600 dpi using the PCL 6
and PostScript 3 drivers.
