ISO/IEC 24735 discusses about office equipment for IT technology. ISO/IEC 24735 specifies a method for measuring the digital copying productivity of digital copying devices and multifunctional devices with various copying modes. ISO/IEC 24735 allows comparison of the throughput copying rates for a machine operated in various available operating modes (simplex, duplex, size of substrates, 2-up, etc.) and various available digital image processing configurations. ISO/IEC 24735 includes test files, test setup procedures, test procedures, and reporting requirements for digital copying productivity measurements.
Note 1: ISO/IEC 24735 is not intended to be used for devices that are not able to copy on a media size of A4/8,5” × 11”, devices that do not have an ADF, or devices that are not able to collate multiple copies of original prints from a test set.
Note 2: ISO/IEC 24735 is not intended to replace the manufacturer's rated speeds
Note 3: ISO/IEC 24735 is applicable to digital copying devices and multifunctional devices equipped with automatic document feeder (ADF) and collating function.
Note 4: This document is intended to be used for black and white (B&W) as well as colour digital copying devices and multifunctional devices of any underlying marking technology.
ISO/IEC 24735 on measuring digital copying productivity is useful for:
Many digital copying devices produce copied pages at a different rate than their nominal speed when running with different modes (simplex, duplex, copying quality modes), different substrate grammage, and collating and/or finishing options. The degree to which a reduction in productivity is experienced depends significantly on other parameters of the job stream.
ISO/IEC 24735 provides a general method for measuring productivity when the above-mentioned job stream parameters for digital copying devices are taken into consideration. ISO/IEC 24735 also includes instructions for the creation of test charts. ISO/IEC 24735 allows manufacturers and buyers of digital copying devices to describe the productivity of various digital copying devices with respect to representative office usage.
ISO/IEC 24735:2021 supersedes BS ISO/IEC 24735:2012, which is withdrawn.
