BLI’s job stream includes Word documents, Outlook e-mail messages, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint, HTML and Acrobat PDF files,
totalling 19 pages. This test simulates the type of traffic a typical device might experience in a real-world, multi-user environment. All
of the files are sent to the device as a group, at which time the stopwatch begins; timing ends when the last page of the last file exits
the device. Job stream efficiency is determined by the percentage of the rated speed at which the device operates when producing
real-world jobs. The closer the rate is to 100%, or if it exceeds 100%, the more efficient the device.
EASE OF USE VERY GOOD
Samsung’s Blue Compass Navigation control panel consists of a two-line,
32-character LCD, seven hard keys and one colour-changing LED for Status (green
for ready or printing, red for errors or warnings). Functions are simply named, and
the menu system is easy to navigate. Gauges on the LCD provide at-a-glance
toner status.
Adjusting the drawers is straightforward. Users pull one open and squeeze the blue
tab of the length guide to move it; for A4 paper, users push down the back of the
drawers. The width guides move in sync once users hold down the lever on the right
side. Loading media is equally as easy: Users need only push down the spring-
loaded ramp to lock it into place before adding paper. Paper size must be set via the
control panel, which is common.
Though no instructions are provided about how to clear misfeeds, BLI technicians
noted that the process is simple. There are five access points, and consumables
don’t have to be removed, though drums are exposed.
