Evaluation guidelines
As you design tests and conduct your evaluation, remember the following guidelines:
Consider the typical end-user’s hardcopy needs.
Simulate the end-user’s environment.
When testing more than one product, try to make a fair comparison between products by setting up in
the same environment and testing similar device settings and configurations.
Analyze each element of the document creation process, but remember that the elements work together
as part of the whole solution. (For instance, performance claims mean very little if documents print
incorrectly or with poor print quality.)
