Factors that affect printer performance


Several factors affect the time it takes to print a job:

Maximum printer speed, measured in pages per minute (ppm)
The use of special paper (such as transparencies, heavy paper, and custom-size paper)
Printer processing and download time
The complexity and size of graphics
The speed of the computer you are using
The USB connection
The printer I/O configuration
The amount of printer memory installed
The network operating system and configuration (if applicable)
Printer personality (HP JetReady, PCL, or PS)

Although additional printer memory can resolve memory problems, improve how the printer handles complex graphics, and improve download times, it will not increase maximum printer speed (ppm).
