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

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).
