8、n for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrical Commission) form the specialised system for worldwide standardisation. National Bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective orga
9、nisation to deal with particular fields of mutual interest. Other international organisations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take part to the work. In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint technical committee lSO/IEC JTCl. Dr
10、aft 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. International Standard ISO/IEC 11160-2, was prepared by Joint Technical
11、 Committee ISO/IEC JTCl, lnformafion technology, Subcommittee SC28, Office equipment.

13、tions vary so widely that it is difficult for potential users to assess which machine might best meet their requirements. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD OISO/IEC ISO/lEC 11160-2:1996 (E) Information technology - Office equipment - Minimum information to be included in specification sheets - Printers - Part
14、2: Class 3 and Class 4 printers 1 Scope ISO/IEC 11160 is intended to facilitate the users in selecting a printer which meets their requirements. ISO/IEC 11160 specifies the minimum information that shall be included in the specification sheets of printers so that users may compare the characteristic
15、s of different machines. ISO/IEC 11160 applies to printers that could be operated in an office environment. Printers requiring specially equipped rooms or specially instructed operators are not considered in ISO/IEC 11160. ISO/IEC 11160 will accommodate different classes of printers. This part of IS
16、O/IEC 11160 accommodates Class 3 and Class 4 printers, as defined in annex B. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO/IC 11160. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. Al
17、l standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of ISO/IC 11160 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.
