Adjusting Printing Options
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 or USB)
Network operating system
Printer configuration
File size and type of graphics
Computer speed
Note
Additional printer memory (RAM) may improve overall printer functions, but will not increase the pages per minute (ppm) ability of the printer.
Adjusting Printing Options
Setting Printing Options
Many printing options are available with the Xerox printer driver.
