Print Speed / System Performance
•
The maximum print speed for the X12 system is limited by
the print speed of the DocuColor 12 engine.
the print speed of the DocuColor 12 engine.
•
DocuColor 12 is a document printer; therefore, in reverse
order printing the print engine will not cycle up until the
entire job is ready. This will impact First Copy Out Time
(FCOT). The printer may cycle down between each job
depending on job complexity.

•
Overall system performance (‘Click to Clunk’ time) is
primarily dependent upon the software applications and
network environment being used. Rasterizing (RIP-ing) is
only a small fraction of Click to Clunk time.

print quality is achieved by performing regular color
calibrations. One of these densitometers is required for
calibration of the DocuColor 12 Printer only configuration.
