Phaser 480X Color Printer
How long does it take to make a print?
The total print time depends on the following:
Image complexity
Image size
Type of port used
PrinterÕs memory conÞguration (112 Mbyte conÞguration
is fastest)
PrinterÕs paper-marking speed (the time it takes the printer to put
the dye into the paper, once it has received the processed image)
Of these elements, only memory conÞguration and paper-marking speed are
predictable; the others vary greatly depending on memory conÞguration
and the type of image you are printing. However, the Phaser 480X
PostScript interpreter combines very fast image processing and
communication with sophisticated memory management to keep the total
print time to a minimum.
For details on the printerÕs paper-marking speed, refer to ÒSpeciÞcationsÓ in
Appendix A.
