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 overall printer functions, but will not
increase the pages per minute (ppm) ability of the printer.
