stated simultaneous ripping and printing

01

How to read the figure

This describes a system capability, not a universal speed guarantee. Parallel jobs can make better use of available computing resources and reduce waiting when several devices are active.

02

What affects performance

Processing time depends on CPU, memory, storage, network, PDF complexity, resolution, separations, special channels, and output devices.

03

How to test it during a trial

Use representative large files, real queues, and the same hardware. Measure time to first print, total RIP time, and operator responsiveness while several jobs are processed.

How to interpret the result

The four-job figure is a manufacturer statement, not an independent benchmark. Actual performance depends on the computer, files, network, devices, and production settings.
