    Consumable yield testing and reporting overview customers are becoming increasingly aware of the cost of owning and operating their printers and multifunction products (mfps). The cost of consumable supplies such as toner cartridges or solid ink sticks is a major component of the total cost of owner...

    The international organization for standardization (iso), based in geneva, switzerland, is composed of national standards bodies that formulate and issue technical standards that play a key role in the development, manufacturing and supply of products and services. The iso collaborates on all matter...

    Different implementations of color tables and color balance optimization among manufacturers can lead to yield variations between color cartridges, even if they have the same toner weight. To account for this, iso supports a second reporting method called “composite yield,” allowing a single average...

    The iso/iec standard allows for objective comparisons of stated toner yields for different printers or mfps, regardless of oem. Many prospective customers use consumable yield information to estimate the toner life they can expect to experience with their particular applications, and adherence to th...

    Q: will xerox provide “iso/iec certificates” for supplies that have been iso/iec yield tested? A: the iso/iec certification process does not result in the issuance of certificates. By declaring a yield according to iso/iec standards, xerox warrants that it has done the testing according to iso/iec s...

    Color coverage varies by product class, but is generally much higher than black- and-white products. Letter/a4-size color printers and mfps can have average page coverages in the 7 to 15% range (depending on application and mix between color and black-and-white documents). Tabloid/a3-size color prin...

    Q: are yields for drums and fusers also based on iso/iec standards? A: currently there are no iso/iec standards for reporting life on drums, imaging units or fusers. Yields on these components are not significantly influenced by print area coverage. Q: what is a drum? A: drums collect toner-imaged i...

    These color test pages are specified by the iso/iec cd 19798 and iso/iec 24711 standard for yield testing. These five pages are intended to simulate the average color documents printed in an office environment. If you have any questions, please contact your xerox sales representative or local resell...
