20、ll rights reserved vForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Stan
21、dards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and
22、 IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee
23、is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the pos
24、sibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

26、ing with different modes (simplex, duplex, print quality modes), different substrate weight, system environments, applications and file content, and finishing options. The degree to which a reduction in productivity is experienced depends significantly on multiple parameters of the job workflow. The
27、 most dominant of the parameters of the job workflow are: system environment, application, and job characteristics such as the number of pages in a set to be printed, single-sided or double-sided output pages, quality mode, number of print sets to be produced, substrate weight/size used, and finishi
28、ng options, and job content complexities such as monochrome vs. colour, text/vector vs. raster, page scaling and colour conversion. The existing International Standards (ISO/IEC 10561) only address printing throughput for Class 1 and Class 2 printers and (ISO/IEC 14545) only addresses analog copier
29、productivity, therefore both are not suitable for comparing colour printing devices or high-speed page-oriented printing devices with many finishing options and connectivity configurations. This International Standard provides a general method for measuring the productivity when the above-mentioned
30、job workflow parameters for digital printing devices are taken into consideration. This International Standard also includes a suite of test files, test-platform (hardware and software) setup guidelines, and a procedure to be used for measuring digital printing productivity. It allows manufacturers
31、and buyers of digital printing devices to describe the productivity of various digital printing devices with respect to representative office usage patterns.

32、D ISO/IEC 24734:2009(E) ISO/IEC 2009 All rights reserved 1Information technology Office equipment Method for measuring digital printing productivity 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method for measuring the productivity of digital printing devices with various office applications and
33、print job characteristics. This International Standard is applicable to digital printing devices, including single-function and multi-function devices, regardless of print technology (e.g. inkjet, laser). Devices can be equipped with a range of paper feed and finishing options either directly connec
34、ted to the computer system or via a network. It is intended to be used for black and white (B Office category and Advertising and Graphics category, whereby the Office Category test is used to test and report FSOT, ESAT and EFTP using content from typical office applications and the Advertising and
35、Graphics Category test is used to test and report FSOT, ESAT and EFTP using applications and files representing more complexity, higher coverage and a higher ratio of image and graphic content such as pictures, gradients and embedded elements SANS 24734:2009This s tandard may only be used and printe

39、last page of the last test set NOTE EFTP is expressed in images per minute (ipm). EFTP can be affected by the digital processing time of the test set as well as the run time of the test set. 2.6 ESAT estimated saturated throughput rate at which a device produces pages measured from the complete exit
40、 of the last page of the first test set through the complete exit of the last page of the last test set NOTE ESAT is expressed in images per minute (ipm). 2.7 feature performance percentage ratio of the printing performance (such as FSOT and ESAT) with the subject feature ON versus the printing devi

45、 simplified format such as a raster bitmap, and the simplified data are then sent to the printing device NOTE Most of the data and images processing is done on the host computer side.

47、inal electronic input images printed independent of the number of hardcopy output sheets the images are printed on NOTE Input image equivalent is expressed in terms of the equivalent number of images input from the source test file. For example, if two A4-sized input images from the test file are pr
48、inted on one-side of an A3 page in simplex printing, the output printed on this A3 page is 2 A4 input image equivalent. For another example, if four A4-sized input images from the test file are printed in reduction on one-side of an A4 page in a 4-up mode in simplex printing, the output printed on t
49、his A4 page is 4 A4 input image equivalent. 2.15 interface/network interface between the host and the printing device, such as a direct (via parallel, serial, USB, Firewire or wireless) or an indirect (via network router/server) connection 2.16 LSOT last set out time number of seconds between the initiation of the job to the complete exit of the last page of the last test set 2.17 nominal printing speed printing rate, excluding time to first page printed, and measured when producing pages in a continuous printing
