PRINT PRODUCTIVITY 

Evaluating print productivity is not as simple as timing copy 
jobs.  The printing process involves several steps and can 
be affected by a variety of factors along the way.   

 

The document must first be spooled by the print driver into 
a PCL or PostScript file.  The PCL or PostScript file is then 
sent to the printer where it is raster image processed 
(RIPped) into image data by the device processor.  The 
image data is then sent to the marking engine and output 
as printed pages.   

 

It is possible to time and compare these factors through the 
use of careful preparation, conditioning and testing. 

 

Following are charts that show printing performance when 
tested under controlled conditions.
