Chapter 2 Principles of Operation

2.2.08 Print Speed

The unit is capable of the print speeds listed below.

3 pages per minute in Black Draft Mode.

2 pages per minute in Black Letter Quality Mode.

2 to 4 pages per minute in Full Color Mode.

Graphics Device Interface (GDI)

When working with a GDI printer, data leaves the computer "pre-formatted" for the printer. Very little printer circuitry is required for data handling. The received data is already formatted for the printer. RAM in the printer is minimized. Because the printer is controlled via software in the computer, the operator panel is minimized.

Printer Speed versus System Speed

As a general rule, the faster the computer, the faster the printout from a GDI printer.

Example:

Two identical GDI printers are connected to two different systems.

One system is a 25 MHz. 80386 based computer with 4 MB of RAM.

One system is a 66 MHz. 80486 based computer with 8 MB of RAM.

Question

If both systems being printing the same file at the exact same time, which system will finish first?

Answer

The 66 MHz. 80486 based computer with 8 MB of RAM.

Reason

All of the pre-print data processing is being done in a system with greater "system resources" (more RAM, high level processor at a higher speed). Data is sent to the printer faster.

Windows Printing versus DOS Based Printing

The OkiJet 2010 printer is a "Windows Based Host Printer". The printer can print from a DOS based program running in a Windows "DOS-based session". However, this is not the best configuration. DOS is a very non-graphical based operating system. The OkiJet 2010 is a "Graphics Device Interface" printer. It is better to run the OkiJet 2010 with a Windows system.

Improving Performance

A GDI printer is the only type of printer that improves (up to the printers maximum rated performance) with the host computers improvement.
