What exactly is Duty Cycle?
Duty Cycle is a print device’s rated capacity to continuously perform
work under normal conditions. It is usually expressed as the
sustainable volume in letter- or A4-sized pages that can be printed per
month.
Define the problem
When discussing a machine’s capabilities, there is often a
misconception about its Duty Cycle. Customers tend to think in terms
of duty cycle, while Xerox thinks in terms of AMPV (Average Monthly
Print Volume). Many print device vendors today do not define what
these terms mean, how they are different, and how it affects a
customer.
What are considered “normal conditions”?
Because Duty Cycle is based on how the printer performs under
“normal conditions,” you first must define what “normal conditions”
are
—and there are many factors that affect the execution of everyday
print jobs. These include everything from the robustness of the
machine and the types of applications being run to the physical
environment in which the customer is printing.
In addition, any true measure of what
constitutes “normal” must
account for those occasions when a job is running at less than
maximum speed. And as we all know, there are other times that for
any number of reasons, a job isn’t running and the machine sits idle.
It’s a natural part of the printing business. So to calculate Duty Cycle,
Xerox took into account these “normal conditions”, as well as the
anticipated shift usage per week, to consider all factors that a machine
and its operators may encounter when running print jobs.
What is the difference between AMPV and Duty Cycle?
Duty Cycle takes into account the actual capabilities of a machine with
varying circumstances, while Average Monthly Print Volume (AMPV) is
the volume an average customer is expected to produce on a machine
in a month. AMPV reflects a range of an entire ma
chine population’s
monthly usage, while Duty Cycle displays the potential to grow while
still utilizing the machine. This is important to keep in mind because
alth
ough a customer’s typical print volume may fall into the AMPV
range, the company may grow beyond the usual volume and printing
capability of the machine.
