This product was tested in BLI's 10,000-square-foot test lab, in an environment
monitored by a Honeywell Temp/RH chart recorder, which replicates typical office
conditions.
BLI's dedicated test network, consisting of Windows 2000 and Microsoft Exchange
servers, Windows XP workstations, 10BaseT/100BaseTX network switches and CAT5
cabling.
Products are tested for two months, one month of which consists of a durability
test during which the product is run at its manufacturer-rated maximum monthly
volume, with daily volumes divided evenly over the course of the test.
Samsung SCX-6345N base unit with optional fax kit, paper tray and finisher.
The test methods and procedures employed by BLI in its lab testing include BLI's pro-
prietary procedures and industry-standard test procedures, including a BLI-devel-
oped variation of ASTM's 1318-90 Test Method for Determination of Productivity
using Electrostatic Copy Machines. In addition to a number of proprietary test docu-
ments, BLI uses an industry-standard Katun test original for evaluating black image
quality and test suites from Quality Logic to evaluate applications compatibility. In
addition to a visual observation, color print quality is tested using the ANSI standard
IT8 Color Test Target, which is read using the Minolta CM503I Spectrophotometer,
and samples are analyzed using the CIE XY Chromaticity Diagram. In addition,
density of black and color output is measured using an X-Rite 428 Densitometer.
Georgia-Pacific Spectrum Multi-Use 20-lb. bond is used in the tests, 10 percent of
which is recycled paper containing 30 percent post-consumer content. Image quality
is tested using Georgia-Pacific Printing Paper (95 brightness, 22-lb. bond).
