- 6 IPM (Images Per Minute) for black-only printing
- 4 IPM for color printing
IPM (Images Per Minute), a standard which was introduced in March 2009, is a universal measure that uses three types of standardized text documents to measure printer speed:
- four page MICROSOFT WORD Document
- four page MICROSOFT EXCEL Document
- four page ADOBE PDF Document
The speed is based on the default settings of the printer.
PPM measures the speed of a printer based on several other variables. The PPM of one printer cannot be directly compared to the PPM of another. IPM should always be used when comparing one printer to another.
