Productivity Setting

The productivity of the digital press relates to the continuous speed of the media output as measured in prints per minute (ppm). The continuous speed is dependent on paper size, paper weight, and fuser temperature.

Use this setting to optimize the throughput speed for the type of paper you run most frequently. Productivity Setting options include:

• All Weight s Rated Speed: This setting runs all jobs at the

same speed regardless of the paper weight. Gloss levels may appear lower on heavier weight media.

• Mixed Paper Weight: This setting optimizes the throughput

speed of print jobs that contain mixed media weights from different paper trays.

Select the setting that best fits your printing environment and that you use most frequently.
