A GDI printer comes standard with the
Muratec F-560. (PCL 5e and PCL 6 are an
option.) The GDI driver we tested has a
simple, straightforward interface. GDI may
be workable in some office situations —
especially if the device is used more as a
network scanner. In our testing of the GDI
driver, we sent a 10-page PowerPoint
presentation — with low-res graphics — and
saw a time of a little over 3 minutes.
Print Speed/Resolution:
The default print resolution is 600 x 600 dpi,
but users can also select to print at 300 x
300 dpi. The Muratec F-560 prints at an
advertised speeds of up to 20-ppm.
Duplexing:
The Muratec F-560 comes equipped with a
duplexer. For smaller offices concerned
about paper usage, this is valuable extra,
unusual in this class of device. But we found
there was a performance penalty.
Job Queue:
From the Web interface, users can view print
jobs that have queued up. They can also
cancel any waiting jobs from this interface as
well. This is a nice extra. But it would have
been nicer still if copy jobs were displayed
as well, which would give the user more
accurate sense of their waiting time.
Users can set print resolution to either 600 x 600
or 300 x 300
.
Finishing options include duplexing and 2-1/4-1
combine printing
.
Users can view the print job queue using the
