Job Stream: Mixed File Types, Same Size

BLI’s job stream includes PDF, TIFF, DWF and PLT les totaling 19 pages. This test indicates the type of trafc a typical
wide-format device might experience in a real-world, multi-user environment. All of the les are submitted to the con-
troller in default mode in a specic order and sent to the printer as a group, at which time the stopwatch begins; timing
ends when the last page of the last le exits the device. The closer the rate is to 100%, the more efcient the unit.
