1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for measuring the productivity of digital
printing devices with various office applications and print job characteristics. This International
Standard is applicable to digital printing devices , including single-function and multi-function devices, regardless of print technology
(e.g. inkjet, laser). Devices can be equipped with a range of paper feed and finishing
options either directly connected to the computer system or via a network . It is intended to be used for black and white (B&W) as well as colour digital printing devices . It allows for the comparison of the productivity of machines operating in various
available modes (simplex, duplex, size of substrates, etc.) and office applications
when the test system environment, operating modes, and job mix for each machine are
held identical. This International Standard includes test files , test setup procedure, test runtime procedure, and the reporting requirements for
the digital printing productivity measurements.
This International Standard is not intended to be used for devices which are not able
to print on a media size of A4/8.5”x11” or for devices, which are not able to collate
multiple copies of a print.
This International Standard is not intended to replace a manufacturer’s rated speeds.
The productivity of a digital printing device depends on factors other than the printing device itself. These include, but are not limited to, computer manufacturer and model, central
processor ty...
