Print Productivity
BLI’s Tested Print Speeds
Print speed is tested using BLI’s Test Original (with 5% page coverage for monochrome). The test page is printed in a
quantity equal to double the vendor’s rated print speed for the device in each mode tested (e.g., if the vendor’s rated
print speed is 20 ppm, 40 pages are printed). The Ricoh Acio GX5050N’s print speeds were tested in the default Standard
mode using the PCL 6 driver.
