TEST RESULTS AND OBSERVATIONS
continued
Performance of Standalone Fax Functions
Fax scanning speed: The average scanning speed is
obtained from scanning into memory three originals us-
ing standard resolution and normal contrast settings;
timing begins when the “Start” button is pressed and
continues until the last page exits onto the exit tray.
Fax scanning speed with 4% page coverage original: 3.56
seconds per page; range for fax machines tested to date
1.59 to 14.94 seconds.
Fax scanning speed with 12% page coverage original: 4.03
seconds per page; range for fax machines tested to date,
1.59 to 26.11 seconds.
Memory capacity: The unit was equipped with the maximum
40 MB of memory (8 MB is standard). Because of the unit’s
large memory, memory capacity was not tested; however,
Imagistics claims a capacity of 3,000 pages based on ITU-T
Test Document #1.
Transmitting from memory after a failed communication: Fair.
When the Imagistics Model 2500 MFP was subjected to
excessive line noise, the destination was automatically
redialed, but the entire document was retransmitted,
including pages that had already been successfully trans-
mitted, needlessly incurring additional expense. With some
other devices tested, only the affected pages and the first
page (which may be a cover page), or the pages from the
point that error occurred, are transmitted.
Transmitting from memory when the size of the file exceeds
memory capacity: Because it is unlikely that the unit’s stan-
dard 8 MB of memory would be exceeded, this test was not
performed.
Performance of LAN Fax Functions
General: The LAN fax driver offers cover pages as well as a
built-in address book utility.
Composing and sending a LAN fax: The user manually
selects the “PC-FAX” driver, which is used to send a docu-
ment as an attachment from within any application.
The
LAN fax driver requires users to switch between the print
driver to print and the LAN fax driver to fax from within any
application on a user’s workstation over a network connec-
tion.
