Factors Affecting Printer Performance

Many factors affect a print job. They include the print speed (stated in number of pages per minute), the media used, download time, and printer processing time.

The computer download time and printer processing time are affected by several factors including:

■Printer memory

■Connection type (network, parallel or USB)

■Network operating system

■Printer configuration

■File size and type of graphics

■Computer speed

Note

Additional printer memory (RAM) may improve overall printer functions, but will not increase the pages per minute (ppm) ability of the printer.
