How do you calculate copies per minute on copiers? - Answers

Just do a test run. Fill the paper drawer, stick an original in the feeder, set it for some large number of copies, like 200, and pull the trigger. Start your stopwatch as you push the <START> button, and stop your stopwatch when the 200th (or last) copy comes shooting out. The number of copies per minute that your copier delivered in that test is: (60 x number of copies you ran) divided by (number of seconds on the stopwatch) If you don't want to waste that many copies, just look at your watch and see how many copies come out in 15 seconds (then multiply by 4, for the answer) or how many come out in 30 sec (then multiply by 2 for the answer).
