Savin C2525
Print Productivity
The Savin C2525 comes with both the industry standard
PCL5C/6 drivers and the company’s own RPCS driver.
The RPCS driver utilizes Windows printing technology,
carrying out the RIPping process at the desktop taking
advantage of the powerful desktop processing capabilities.
To allow for a direct comparison between PCL, PS and
RPCS we timed a selection of jobs from time of file release
to final output including the RIPping and spooling times for
all PDLs.
As the table to the right indicates, bandwidth varied
significantly from job to job across the three PDLs.
PostScript proved to be the most network efficient on PDF
workflow creating the lowest bandwidth and delivering the
highest overall productivity. RPCS followed in productivity
but fell behind PCL in bandwidth creation.
The opposite was true when we switched to Microsoft
Office workflow with PCL delivering good productivity with
minimal bandwidth while RPCS and PS both created
significantly higher bandwidth. It is a testament to the
power of the controller inside the device that productivity
was not as hampered as expected, with the Publisher file,
for example, only dropping 10 percent in productivity terms
despite creating a file over 20 times larger than PCL.
