the Default plain paper/monochrome driver setting. Timing began when the
printer was taken out of a paused mode, and ended when the last page of
the job stream completely exited the device. The job stream was completed
in 25 minutes and 28 seconds, which translates to 44.8 pph.
To assess colour copy productivity, a 24" x 36" document was copied using
the CopySmart program at 200-, 400- and 600-dpi settings. At 200 dpi, at
the default Colour Poster/Graphics – Fast setting, it took 18 seconds to scan
this document; at 400 dpi it took 46 seconds; and at 600 dpi it took 1 minute
and 38 seconds. Note that the scan speeds were very similar when using the
SmartLF program.
Black Print/Copy Productivity GOOD
The same 12-page 24" x 36" DWF document was used to assess black print
productivity. With the Canon iPF710 driver set for plain paper/mono-
chrome, speed was tested at three different quality settings—Draft,
Default and Highest Quality. In Draft mode, the document printed in 12
minutes and 17 seconds, which translates to 58.6 pph. In Default mode,
the document printed in 16 minutes and 41 seconds, which translates to
43.2 pph. In Highest Quality mode, the document printed in 28 minutes,
which translates to 25.7 pph. Black print productivity is considered com-
petitive to other devices tested by BLI.
To assess monochrome copy productivity, a 24" x 36" document was copied
using the CopySmart program at 200-, 400- and 600-dpi settings. At the
default setting of Monochrome Poster/Graphics Fast, it took 6 seconds
to scan the document at 200 dpi; it took 2 minutes and 1 second to scan
the document at 400 dpi; and it took 2 minutes and 6 seconds to scan the
document at 600 dpi. Note: When using the 400- and 600-dpi settings, print-
ing began after approximately one-third of the document was scanned, at
which time scanning was automatically paused. Scanning resumed a short
time later and scanning, spooling and printing were observed to be taking
place simultaneously.
An Administrator password can be set to enable SNMP settings and IPP
authentication, and restrict TCP/IP Printing, SNMP settings and MAC address
access. Additional congurable options are available in the Device Manager
section in the Web utility.
