Evaluating MFPs 17
Performance
Save time with fast printing, copying, faxing, scanning, and digital sending
Product performance is more than a measure of pages per minute. Rather, product performance is the speed at
which a product can turn electronic files into printed pages or convert printed material into electronic
information. In addition to engine speed, several factors affect the time it takes to complete a job, including the
use of special paper, computer download time, and device processing time. The time it takes for your computer
to download a job to the MFP, and for the MFP to process the job, depends on the following variables:
• The MFP’s I/O configuration (network or USB speed)
• The speed of your computer
• The amount of device memory installed
• The network operating system and configuration
• The throughput speed of the network print server
• Printer personality or language (such as PCL or PostScript
®
)
A better performing product leads to higher productivity in your workplace. You spend less time waiting, output
appears faster, and network traffic is minimized.

Instant-on Technology virtually eliminates warm-up time and delivers a first page out in less than 10 seconds for
typical letter and A4 documents. The predictive ready-to-print algorithm processes jobs in parallel with printing
and improves the first page out print speed over time. Because it needs minimal warm-up time, the MFP
consumes less energy and realizes less wear on the engine.
With a 480 MHz processor, 256 MB standard RAM (expandable to 512 MB), and a powerful HP Jetdirect Fast
Ethernet embedded print server, the product is designed to process jobs quickly for increased uptime. To
heighten performance, the MFP features Memory Enhancement technology (MEt), which automatically
compresses data, virtually doubling the MFP memory and allowing more complex printing with available
memory.
Fast PDF printing
The MFP’s direct PDF printing solution allows PDF files to be sent from any device, bypassing conversion
processes used by other product-based solutions, which increases printing performance and removes possible
conversion errors.
