COPY BACKGROUND

Nearly all MFPs on the market today provide digital copying, while many desktop printers offer it as an option. Despite the fact that many devices provide a wide range of digital-copying capabilities, from image manipulation to page insertion, most typical copy jobs actually consist of a single set of a simplex document that is five pages or less, with no finishing, and no image-quality manipulation.

Small Simple Jobs

Although most MFPs provide a wide range of copying features, most users are not willing to navigate through countless screen menus in order to get to the point where they can actually press the Start key. There are two components of copy-job productivity: 1) user productivity, and 2) device productivity. BERTL encourages enterprises to also consider the impact of user productivity, along with device productivity. Device productivity only includes the time it takes from the press of the Start key until the final copy exits the device, and does not take into account the time that it takes a user to program and start the copy job. However, the easier the job, the easier it is to program; users will also take less time to program jobs as they acclimate to the controls and/or create job programs. And, of course, some users are more astute and capable than others. Consequently, these uncontrolled factors introduce a high degree of variability. However, of course, a device that takes twice as long to produce the first copy affects the job productivity of each and every user and job.

Large, Complex Jobs

Even with large copy jobs—where it seems engine speed plays the largest role—user productivity should be taken into account. For example, the user is less likely to wait at the copier for larger and more complex jobs. Factors that enhance user productivity include such features as easy job programming; a scan-ahead feature so that users can program and scan jobs while other jobs are printing; fast original scanning so that users can more quickly return to their desks with their originals; the ability to build a job using a mix of different-size originals scanned from both the document feeder and platen; and job notification at the computer desktop when the copy job is completed (thus eliminating the guesswork of when to return to the copier to collect the job).
