This International Standard specifies a method for measuring “productivity” of digital copying devices and multifunctional devices with various copying modes. The International Standard is applicable to digital copying devices and multifunctional devices equipped with automatic document feeder and collating function. The
International Standard is intended to be used for black and white (B&W) as well as colour digital copying devices and multifunctional devices of any underlying marking technology. The International Standard allows comparison of the throughput copying rates for a machine operated in various available operating modes (simplex, duplex, size of substrates, 2-up, etc) and various available digital image processing configurations.
This International Standard includes test files, test setup procedure, test procedure, and the reporting requirements for the digital copying productivity measurements.
This International Standard is not intended to be used for devices which are not able to copy on a media size of A4/8.5"x11", devices that do not have an ADF (automatic document feeder), or devices which are not able to collate multiple copies of original prints from a test set.
This International Standard is not intended to replace manufacturer's rated speeds.
