Factors Affecting Printer Performance
Many factors affect a print job. They include the print speed (stated in number of pages per
minute), the media used, download time, and printer processing time.
The computer download time and printer processing time are affected by several factors
including:
■ Printer memory
■ Connection type (network, parallel or USB)
■ Network operating system
■ Printer configuration
■ File size and type of graphics
■ Computer speed
Note
Additional printer memory (RAM) may improve ov er all printer functions, but will not
increase the pages per minute (ppm) ability of the printer.
