PRINT PRODUCTIVITY

Evaluating print productivity is not as simple as timing copy

jobs. The printing process involves several steps and can

be affected by a variety of factors along the way.

The document must first be spooled by the print driver into

a PCL file. The PCL file is then sent to the printer where it

is raster image processed (RIPped) into image data by the

device processor. The image data is then sent to the

marking engine and output as printed pages.

It is possible to time and compare these factors through the

use of careful preparation, conditioning and testing.

Following are charts that show printing performance when

tested under controlled conditions.

IMAGE QUALITY

BERTL evaluates the output of several “test targets” in

order to determine image quality. Following are

descriptions of key elements of image quality. Note the

numbered examples on each of the test targets shown in

the right column.

Office Colour Image Quality

1. Density of Solid Areas - Better contrast; more vivid overall images

2. Line Work - Better production of lines and text

3. Halftones - Better production of photographic and screened images

4. Negative/Positive - Better production of fine detail

Photographic Colour Image Quality

5. Flesh tones - Better production of portraits

6. Banding - Better solid and dithered fill

7. Low Contrast - Better production of dark images

8. Saturation - Better production of greyscales

9. Caste – Better greyscale fidelity

10. Fine Detail – Better reproduction of fine details

Density of Solid Areas*

Print Density

Black 1.63

*Density is on a scale of 0 to 2.5, with 2.5 being the best possible.

Print Resolution*

Print Resolution

Vertical Horizontal

Black 2.0 2.0

*Line Pairs per Millimetre. For printer resolution, lower is better (range,

1.0-5.0).

Print Halftones

Min. Gradation* Max. Gradation**

Black 10 100

*Minimum gradation is on a scale of 10 – 100 percent in 10 percent

increments. The best possible minimum gradation is 10 percent.

**Maximum gradation is on a scale of 10 – 100 percent in 10 percent

increments. The best possible maximum gradation is 100 percent.

BERTL uses ImageExpert printer test targets for the evaluation of printed

image quality. BERTL technicians measure image density and evaluate

the device’s ability to produce a full range of halftones and various sizes

of negative/positive text, dots and lines in each greyscale shade.

BERTL uses synthetic (photographic) test images obtained from ISO

International Standard 12640--Graphic Technology—Prepress digital

data exchange—Data in order to evaluate the ability to print

photographic images.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL PANEL

A control panel’s ease of use or lack thereof can often

have a significant effect on user productivity. The harder it

is to select frequently used options such as duplexing,

document finishing, etc., the more time the user has to

spend programming the device and the less productive

they are. The OKI Printing Solutions B411dn’s control

panel consists of a 16-character X 2 line LCD screen that

makes operation simple.

PRINT DRIVERS

As with control panels, print-driver design can vary

enormously from manufacturer-to-manufacturer. OKI

Printing Solutions has made it an effortless procedure with

their design of the PCL drivers. The drivers are the same

as other OKI Printing Solutions device drivers, which will

make it especially easy for OKI Printing Solutions users to

quickly acclimate to it.

Print Driver Checklist

Do print drivers have identical user interfaces? Yes

Are print drivers interfaces identical to other

models from this vendor? Yes

Are finishing, duplex and paper tray selections

located on the first tab? Yes

Bi-directional communication within print drivers? Yes

Auto device configuration from within print driver? Yes

Does print driver installation require rebooting of

the workstation? No

Are print driver deployment processes included? Yes

Are print driver deployment guidelines and

procedures included? Yes

PCL DRIVER

In order to specify system defaults and installed options,

administrators select the Printers and Faxes folder from the

Microsoft Windows’ Start menu, and then select one of the

OKI Printing Solutions B411dn drivers. Administrators can

select the “Get Printer Settings” option and installed

options will be automatically indicated in the print driver.

The OKI Printing Solutions B411dn’s maintenance intervals

offer a high monthly duty cycle of 60,000 pages and high

toner yields of 3,000 pages per high-capacity toner

cartridge. The image drum life also has a high life span of

25,000 pages.

The B411dn has a small amount of consumable items that

any user can easily change with great ease of use. All

misfeed areas and toner cartridge are easily located.

BERTL found locating and changing these items to be a

straight-forward and easy process.

Maintenance Checklist

consumables, the user must lift up the top cover.

Above and below: Once the cover is open, the user can

then replace the toner cartridge by turning the blue lever up

and lifting the toner out for replacement.

REPLACING THE IMAGE DRUM UNIT

Above and next page: In order to replace the printer’s

image drum unit, the user simply pulls the unit out by

grasping the handle and pulling the unit out. The toner

cartridge will be attached; the user will need to remove the

toner cartridge to replace the unit. Users can also remove

any paper misfeeds in this area if necessary.

CLIENT UTILITIES AND DEVICE MANAGMENT

In order to take the best and most efficient advantage of a

device and its capabilities, as well as ensure maximum

uptime, clients need an efficient way to access and monitor

the device. OKI Printing Solutions offers an embedded

web page or its PrintSuperVision application that helps

administrators and users to monitor their devices.

The B411dn’s embedded web page provides device status,

installed paper sizes, and installed options. Additional

information includes toner status, print services enabled,

and version information.

Users can check the status of consumable levels for toner

and drum life.

Network administrators can easily configure network

settings, gateway, authentication and device credentials

within the web interface.

USER ACCESSIBILITY

An ever increasing number of countries are passing

legislation prohibiting government agencies from

purchasing devices that are not accessible to those with

physical impairments and in many countries this legislation

extends to the corporate environment also. For this

reason—and the corporate world’s increased focus on

delivering a better work environment for all—user-friendly

features for physically-impaired users are more common.

Common design features include tilting control panels,

which give wheelchair-bound users a better view of the

screen, and larger display options for those with impaired

vision. Voice navigation and Braille also are becoming

increasingly popular. Easy access to the paper path for

misfeed removal and front access to toner supplies also

make a device more user-friendly.

The OKI Printing Solutions B411dn has exceptional

accessibility features that are designed for convenient

accessibility for everyone in the workplace, these systems

incorporate user friendly features such as simple LCD

display, easy-pull paper drawers.

USER ACCESSIBILITY PAPER JAM REMOVAL

Paper jam removal and is a simple process for those in a

wheelchair. There are no hidden jam points and all access

areas are at a comfortable height and angle for access

from the front of the device. Adding paper and replacing

toner is all a simple process from a wheelchair as well.

Toner access area opens easily during the toner

replacement process and is designed to be lighter and

easy to replace, so most users can do it with one hand.
