Copier Speed Clause Samples

Copier Speed. Copies per minute (cpm) measures the reproduction speed of the copier. One copy is defined as one 8.5" x 11" or A4-sized page. Double-sided copies are considered as two images and therefore two copies even though they are copied onto one piece of paper. For all copier models sold in the U.S. market, measurement of copier speed shall be based on 8.5" x 11" letter-sized paper. For copiers sold in markets other than the U.S., copier speed shall be based on either 8.5" x 11" or A4-sized paper, depending on which is standard in a particular market. For large format copiers designed to handle primarily A2 or 17" x 22" paper or larger, the copier speed measured as A2- or A0-sized copies per minute shall be converted to A4-sized copier speeds as follows: (a) One A2 copy per minute is equivalent to four A4 copies per minute, and (b) One A0 copy per minute is equivalent to 16 A4 copies per minute. Copiers qualified as ENERGY STAR shall be divided into five categories: low speed standard-sized copiers, medium speed standard-sized copiers, high speed standard-sized copiers, low speed large format copiers, and medium and high speed large format copiers.
