The printer

Printer performance, or throughput of the printer, is typically stated in impressions per minute (ipm). It depends on several factors, including:
  • Mechanical speed
  • Internal processing speed
  • Attachment bandwidth
  • Paper size
  • Printer features

Duplexed pages contain two impressions, one on each side of a sheet of paper. N_UP printing places up to eight impressions on a sheet in duplex mode. For example, N_UP 4 duplex places four impressions on each side of a sheet of paper.
