Factors that affect printer performance
Several factors affect the time it takes to print a job:
| ●
| Maximum printer speed, measured in pages per minute (ppm)
|
| ●
| The use of special paper (such as transparencies, heavy paper, and custom-size paper)
|
| ●
| Printer processing and download time
|
| ●
| The complexity and size of graphics
|
| ●
| The speed of the computer you are using
|
| ●
| The USB connection
|
| ●
| The printer I/O configuration
|
| ●
| The amount of printer memory installed
|
| ●
| The network operating system and configuration (if applicable)
|
| ●
| Printer personality (PCL or PS)
|
| NOTE
|
Although additional printer memory can resolve memory problems, improve how the printer handles complex graphics, and improve download times, it will not increase maximum printer speed (ppm).
