Evaluating scan quality
Scan the type of material typical for your office, whether a book, magazine, sales brochure, photo, or other
•Does the quality of the scanned image meet your expectations?
•Are there options for scanning specific document and image types?
•How easy is it to adjust image quality and select output options from the control panel?
•Does it take multiple adjustments and multiple scans to get good quality?
Evaluating document durability and usability
After you have finished evaluating the output quality of your samples, evaluate the documents’ durability and usability. Test the following:
•Can the printed output be fed through a copier without being damaged?
•Will the printed output smear with moisture?
•Can the printed output be easily scratched, melted, or otherwise damaged?
•Is the printed output durable? Can it be folded?
