本国际标准规定了一种测量1类和2类打印机吞吐量的方法，如下所示: 定义见ISO/IEC 11160-1。本国际标准规定了三种不同的测试模式: ·标准商务信函； ·电子表格； ·图案。 此外，本国际标准定义了性能试验和耐久性试验的方法。 这些测试旨在仅测量与测试相同类别的文档的打印机吞吐量 不评估任何其他打印机功能，如字符成型、打印压缩、， 网络/控制器性能、颜色等。该方法与1类和2类打印机类型（例如。 g、 圆点 矩阵、雏菊轮、喷墨、热转印打印机）和所有配置（例如拖拉机送纸、切纸送纸、， 80列和超过132列的打印宽度等）。它不是最适合比较其他系统性能的方法 打印设备的类别，如高速面向页面的打印机或彩色打印机。 本方法适用于打印机制造商和测试机构，以便获得常见形式的测试结果 应获得演示文稿。它还将使用户能够对打印进行快速、轻松的比较 不同打印机的吞吐量。

This International Standard specifies a method for measuring the throughput of class 1 and class 2 printers, as defined in ISO/IEC 11160-1. This International Standard specifies three different test patterns: · a standard business letter; · a spreadsheet; · a graphic pattern. In addition, this International Standard defines a method for a performance test and one for an endurance test. These tests are intended to measure only the printer throughput for documents in the same class as the test patterns and not to evaluate any other printer features such as character shaping, print compressions, network/controller performance, colour, etc. The method is relevant to class 1 and class 2 printer types (e.g. dot matrix, daisy wheel, ink jet, thermal transfer printers) and to all configurations (e.g. tractor feed, cut sheet feed, 80-column and over 132-column print width, etc.). It is not the most suitable for comparing performance of other classes of printing devices such as high-speed page-oriented printers or color printers. This method is intended for use by printer manufacturers and test houses so that a common form of test result presentation shall be obtained. It will also enable a user to make a quick and easy comparison of the printing throughput of different printers.
