44、changes. For the determination of FP and UFP as specified in 8.6, particle counting shall be started from the start of the pre-operating phase because particle emission is observed for some EUTs soon after they are powered-on. 8.2.6.2.2 Operating phase The Hard Copy Device class of EUT shall operate

45、 at nominal speed. Operating may include colour-, and/or dual sides printing. The monochrome and colour print patterns specified in Annex A.1 and A.2 respectively shall be used for EUT using paper consumables. Enter the operating phase by starting copying or printing. The output of the first printed

46、 page marks the start of the operating phase. It ends with the output of the last printed page. In conjunction with other parameters such as n, ETC volume and the use of a post-operating phase, the duration shall be such that quantitative analysis is ensured. The duration of the operating phase shal

47、l be planned as follows: First priority: The duration shall be at least 10 minutes. Second priority: If 10 minutes duration is technically not feasible the operational phase shall be as long as possible. The number of printed pages should not fall below 150. The maximum duration possible and the number of printed pages have to be checked prior to testing and have to be documented in the test protocol. 8.2.6.2.3 Post-operating phase The post-operating phase starts when the operating phase ends, and may last up to four air exchanges. 1 E
