 The Aficio MP1350 proved to be a highly reliable unit in BLI's two-month,
1,000,000-impression durability test. Although in its initial 1,000,000-impres-
sion durability test, the unit misfed 36 times and required seven service
calls, a modification performed around 615,000 impressions into the test, in
which the duplex unit was replaced and a duplex mylar guide was installed,
proved to correct the problems. BLI technicians proceeded to run the model
for an additional 1,000,000 impressions. During this testing, the unit misfed
just 10 times, which translates to a misfeed rate of one per 100,000 impres-
sions. No service calls were required, and 3 PMs were conducted.
 The unit's rated developer yield, at 500,000 impressions, matches up with its
preventive maintenance schedule. Further, the drum replacement (2,000,000
impressions) coincides with the fourth scheduled preventive maintenance
call. However, the fact that the fusing unit needs to be replaced at a differ-
ent interval offsets this benefit.
 The unit allows multiple print jobs—limited only by memory resources—to
reside at the device.
— The number of copy jobs that can be programmed ahead while another job
is in progress is limited to 10. Most other units allow the operator to program
an unlimited number of copy jobs while another job is in progress.
 When the operator presses the Interrupt key during a copy or print job to
program an interrupt job, the job being interrupted continues to run until
the operator has completed programming the job and presses the Start key,
allowing for maximum productivity.
 The device requires the user to press a key to program another copy job
while one is already in progress.
 The device requires users to wait until all the pages of the copy job have
completed scanning before programming the next job.
 When a print job followed a copy job and when a copy job followed a print or copy
job, the Aficio MP1350 paused for approximately 3.5 seconds between jobs.
