Print Efficiency
BLI obtains the overall efciency percentage by dividing the tested speed of the device by the rated speed and then
multiplying by 100 for each run length. All jobs are based on a 10-page document printed at 600 dpi using the PCL 6 print
driver.

HTML, PowerPoint and e-mail) is sent to a paused print queue.
All les are monochrome or monochrome and mixed color
and consist of ve or fewer pages (total of 19 pages). Timing
begins when the queue is released and ends when the last
page of the job stream completely exits the device.
Time to completion of all print jobs (PostScript): 1 minute,
5.83 seconds.
Time to completion of all print jobs (PCL 6): 56.73 seconds.
Time to completion of all print jobs (RPCS): 51.93 seconds.
