How should you prove that inkjet printers perform well?

Question

Options

• AFiberChannel internal cabling
• B10 Gigabit network connection
• Cfast first page out and high color print speed up to 70ppm
• Dsingle pass duplex printing

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  95% (38)

Explanation

Inkjet printer performance is measured by how quickly it produces output, making fast first page out and high color print speed (up to 70ppm) the correct metrics - these are the industry-standard benchmarks for evaluating inkjet throughput and responsiveness.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (FiberChannel internal cabling) - FibreChannel is a high-speed storage networking protocol used in SANs, not printer hardware; it has no relevance to inkjet performance.
• B (10 Gigabit network connection) - Network bandwidth matters for large file transfers, but a printer's performance bottleneck is mechanical output speed, not the network connection.
• D (Single pass duplex printing) - While duplex printing is a feature, it describes a printing method, not a performance proof; speed metrics are what demonstrate actual performance.

Memory tip: Think "prove performance = measure output speed." Just like you'd prove a car is fast by its 0-60 time, you prove a printer is fast by its pages per minute (ppm) and time to first page - both captured in option C.
