Media Handling

MEDIA INPUT

Substrate (media) handling is a core requirement of every device. If a device cannot print a file on specific media desired by the user, it hardly matters how fast the print engine is, or how many pages it can produce.

A device’s media-handling capability basically concerns how it can handle two key criteria: the media size and media weight it can feed, as well as the maximum number of pages that can be loaded in the device’s drawers, trays, etc. The greater the media capacity, the less time users will spend reloading media.

MEDIA OUTPUT AND FINISHING

Office workgroup devices’ media-output handling options range from duplex printing to saddle-stitch booklet making. Many devices offer a choice of finisher/staplers, which provide a low-cost, minimum footprint solution, or a high- capacity, fully featured solution such as multi-position stapling, saddle-stitch booklet maker and/or document hole puncher.

BERTL evaluates these functions looking at how the same job outputs at different speeds when different finishing options are specified. The impact of the finishing selection is determined by timing jobs that are sent to a device with various finishing settings.

Stapling

Lower-cost finisher/stapler units often have a 15- to 30- sheet maximum stapling capability and are often limited to corner stapling. Floor-standing, higher-cost finisher like the WorkCentre 4260’s provides a 50-sheet capability and offers single position stapling.
