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