For each AFP printer, the manufacturer specifies the maximum number of pages (or impressions) per minute that the printer is capable of printing. Use this number as a "model" when investigating how many pages per minute are actually printed. The variety of printing characteristics and the complexity of the output has a significant influence on printer performance. In many cases, the printer’s speed is significantly less than its maximum rated speed.
When using Control-D, there are a number of guidelines that may help in improving AFP printer performance. Not all AFP users experience problems with printer performance, but those users who do should read this section.
