BLI'S TESTED PRINT SPEEDS
Print speed is tested using BLI's Test
Original (with 5% page coverage). The test
page is printed in a quantity equal to dou-
ble the vendor's rated print speed for the
device in each mode tested (e.g., if the
vendor's rated print speed is 20 ppm, 40
pages are printed). The Lexmark T430dn's
print speeds were tested at 600 x 600 dpi
and 1200 x 1200 dpi using the PostScript
3 driver.
