19、 at a different rate from subsequent pages. Due to this behaviour, nominal print speeds specified in pages per minute do not generally reflect the time to produce the first page. The degree to which a change in productivity is experienced depends significantly on many parameters of the job stream. T
20、he most dominant of the parameters of the job stream are: image quality modes selected, job content, B&W and colour reproduction, host computer, and connection type. This International Standard provides a general method for measuring first print out time when the above mentioned job stream parameter
21、s for digital printing devices are taken into consideration. It allows manufacturers and buyers of digital printing devices to describe the first print out time of various digital printing devices with respect to representative office usage.

22、ISO/IEC 17629:2014Information technology Office equipment Method for measuring first print out time for digital printing devices 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method for measuring first print out time of digital printing devices. The International Standard is applicable to digital
23、printing devices and multifunctional devices. The International Standard is intended to be used for black and white (B&W) as well as colour digital printing devices and multifunctional devices of any underlying marking technology. The International Standard includes instructions for test charts, tes
24、t setup procedure, test procedure, and the reporting requirements for the digital printing measurements. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 duplex printing term used to describe uses in which a printing device prints on both side
25、s of a sheet Note 1 to entry: Another equivalent term is “two sided printing”. 2.2 first print out time FPOT number of seconds between the initiation of the job until the complete exit of the first sheet Note 1 to entry: Other equivalent terms are “first page out time”, “first print out”, “time to f
26、irst print”, and “time to first page”. Other similar terms have been used in industry as well. 2.3 full detailed report presentation of information including host computer setup and measured test results 2.4 full report presentation of measured test results 2.5 off state state from which a device is
27、 not capable of receiving and printing a print job without user intervention on the device Note 1 to entry: A device may enter Off state due to a user turning the device off, or device may enter Off state automatically after a delay. 2.6 paper feed orientation whether the long or short edge of the p
28、aper is leading in the paper transport mechanism Note 1 to entry: Typical devices with a maximum paper size of A4 have a paper feed orientation of short edge. Devices with a maximum paper size of A3 could print with A4 paper loaded in either long edge or short edge orientation. Typical devices with
29、a maximum paper size of 8,5” 11” have a paper feed orientation of short edge. Devices with a maximum paper size of 11” 17” could print with 8,5” 11” paper loaded in either long edge or short edge orientation.

30、17629:2014ISO/IEC 17629:2014(E) 2.7 power management delay time time that a device waits between the last print job and going into a lower power state such as sleep state or off state Note 1 to entry: The power management delay time corresponding to the setting as shipped is referred to as “default
31、power management delay time” or “default delay time”. 2.8 ready state state which a device typically enters after completing a print job where the printing engine is in a stable condition, but fully warmed up and prepared to print Note 1 to entry: While in ready state, systems not directly involved
32、with marking the media may be still in motion. For example, fans may still be spinning. 2.9 recovery time time required by a device to recover from sleep state given by the difference in FPOT between sleep state and ready state Note 1 to entry: Other related terms are “resume time” and “return time”
33、. Other similar terms have been used in industry as well. 2.10 simplex printing term used to describe uses in which a printing device prints on only one side of a sheet Note 1 to entry: Another equivalent term is “one sided printing”. 2.11 sleep state low power state from which a device is capable o
34、f receiving and printing a print job without user intervention on the device Note 1 to entry: Some devices may have multiple low power states. This International Standard focuses only on the lowest power sleep state. Note 2 to entry: Other equivalent terms are “power save”, “low power mode”, and “en
35、ergy save”. Other similar terms have been used in industry as well. 2.12 summary report presentation of results including only average FPOT from ready results 2.13 test file refers to the digital test file used for testing 2.14 test page first page or first two pages from a test file Note 1 to entry
36、: Duplex testing requires using the first two pages from a test file to print on both sides of the first sheet. Simplex testing only requires using the first page from a test file to print on one side of the first sheet. 2.15 test platform set of hardware and software system components configured to
37、 perform the collection of digital printing FPOT tests, including, but not limited to a computer installed with an operating system and applicable application software, installed printing device software, hardware and software interfaces, and timing devices (stopwatch or automated)2 ISO/IEC 2014 All
38、 rights reservedBS ISO/IEC 17629:2014ISO/IEC 17629:2014(E) 2.16 test run refers to the operation of printing a test page or multiple test pages, in a particular system configuration Note 1 to entry: Print times are recorded for each test run. 2.17 test suite refers to the combination of test files u
39、sed to measure FPOT 2.18 warm-up time time required by a device to recover from off state given by the difference in FPOT between off state and ready state Note 1 to entry: Other similar terms, such as “wait time”, have been used in industry as well. 3 Test Parameters and Conditions 3.1 Test Platfor
40、m Due to the rapid change of computer technology, a common test platform (hardware and software) that can be used for FPOT testing over time is considered to be not practical. Instead, when a test platform is used, the test platform system parameters that may affect digital printing productivity mea
41、surements (see Annex A) shall be recorded. 3.2 Test Platform Test Setup Procedures 3.2.1 Initial Platform Setup The test platform hardware should be installed as per the manufacturers instructions. The test platform hardware information shall be recorded as listed in Annex A. The test platform opera
42、ting system and applications should be installed as per the manufacturers instructions. The test platform operating system and application information shall be recorded as per Annex A. All settings or selections made during installation that differ from the applications default settings or operating
43、 systems default settings shall be recorded. The test platform should be configured for the appropriate connection environment, such as direct USB connection or network Ethernet connection, and the information shall be recorded as per Annex A along with all settings and selections that differ from t
44、he installation default configuration. It should be verified that the test platform is configured for optimal performance by evaluating system parameters such as hard disk fragmentation and compression, swap memory size, etc. Any settings, changes or optimizations made that differ from the installat
45、ion default condition shall be recorded. The test platform is now in the Initial Installation State. All recorded settings shall be included in the Full Detailed Test report. 3.2.2 Creation of Disk Image of Test Platform (optional) Disk imaging software may be used to enable the system to be restore
46、d to the Initial Installation State. Create the disk image after the test platform has been configured and before the print driver for the printing device is installed. Record the disk imaging software used and all settings that differ from the imaging softwares installation default condition. ISO/I

Each printing device product bundle or printing device hardware
48、configuration that might be expected to result in a difference in performance should be considered a different printing device. Record the method used to establish the Initial Installation State. 3.3 Printing Device System Setup Place the printing device on a horizontal surface and setup the printin
49、g device according to the manufacturers recommendation. Install the software (driver, port, etc.) recommended by the manufacturer. Use the most recent print driver available from the manufacturer. The driver and driver version shall be recorded on the test report. The standard test shall be conducted using the manufacturers default driver for the given printing device. If a default driver is not installed/selected automatically by the manufacturers installation procedure, consult the manufacturers documentation
