Print Productivity

The design of the PCL and PostScript drivers is very simi-
lar, allowing users to easily switch from one to the other
without confusion. While many users will never veer away
from PCL—and many IT managers will not give them the
option—those that do will reap benefits in bandwidth and
productivity.
For smaller file sizes, the PostScript driver required less
bandwidth overall than the PCL, although most differences
were not significant. However, the majority of the docu-
ments BERTL tested (see chart), did show a substantial
gap in favor of PostScript.
The output speed time results were similar. The larg-
est difference was in favor of PostScript with the 16-page
magazine in PDF document, the 32-page text-based
PowerPoint document and the 69-page graphic-intensive
PowerPoint document. Other than that, each output was
very close.
