This section describes how to determine the number of images per job to use when measuring a product under the TEC test procedure, and jobs per day for the TEC calculation.

For purposes of this test procedure, the product speed used to determine the job size for the test is the manufacturer’s reported maximum claimed simplex speed for making monochrome images on standard-sized paper (8,5″ × 11″ or A4), rounded to the nearest integer. This speed will also be used for reporting purposes as the product speed of the model. The default output speed of the product, which is to be used in the actual testing, is not measured and may differ from the maximum claimed speed due to factors such as settings for resolution, image quality, printing modes, document scan time, job size and structure, and paper size and weight.

Fax machines should always be tested with one image per job. The number of images per job to be used for all other IE products is to be computed according to the following three steps. For convenience, Table 8 provides the resultant images per job computation for each integral product speed up through 100 images per minute (ipm).

  1. (i)Calculate the number of jobs per day. The number of jobs per day varies with product speed:
  2. (ii)Calculate the nominal amount of images per day from Table 5. For example, a 14 ipm unit uses 0,50 × 142, or 98 images per day.
  3. (iii)Calculate the number of images per job by dividing the number of images per day by the number of jobs per day. Round down (truncate) to the nearest integer. For example, a figure of 15,8 should be reported as 15 images per job, rather than rounding to 16 images per job.
