Unless your computer is equipped with a fast processors and substantial amount of RAM, host-based printers can take much more time to output documents than a traditional printer. Moreover, the printing delay will have a greater effect on your productivity, since you may be unable to use the computer while a print job is running. Having a traditional printer is not a sure guarantee for fast printing, however. You also need to look into the capabilities of the printer's processor and memory. In particular, pay attention to the amount of memory, or RAM, that comes with the printer.
More RAM allows for faster printer processing, particularly of files that contain graphics.
If your company prints many graphic images, it is advisable to buy a printer that allows you to add more RAM to the unit. Fonts can slow printing A final printer feature that can affect printing speed concerns built-in fonts. Every time you print a file, the printer must receive detailed instructions on how to print each font appearing in the document. Those residing in the memory of the printer are called built-in fonts and are immediately available for any printing job. On the other hand, fonts residing in the computer need to be sent from the computer to the printer.
