If you need to scan long documents frequently, you might want to know how long the process might take. Waiting for your printer to scan a long, multi-page document can be very tedious. If it has both types, then it gets Flatbed + ADF. If it has an ADF only, it gets ADF as the result. The results are pretty straightforward: If the printer has a flatbed scanner only, it gets 'Flatbed' as the result. This means that instead of having to place each page of a document on the scanner yourself, you just set them all in the input tray, hit start, and the ADF handles the rest. On the other hand, an ADF automatically feeds through multiple sheets of paper into the sheetfed scanner, and the document is ejected once it's done scanning. Since there's usually space for only one sheet on the glass, you can only do one scan at a time. You place the document you'd like to scan on top of the flatbed, and the scan head moves beneath the glass to capture your document. Just like the name suggests, a flatbed scanner has a scan head placed underneath a flatbed of glass or clear plastic. PageSense captures time to completion and size of the file.īinary Print Utility (BPU) prints captured files without the supported applications.If you want to scan delicate documents like photographs or old letters, or thicker objects like ID cards, passports, or books, then you need a flatbed scanner. Scan measures the time required to scan a document and send it to the PageSense test PC. Fax mode uses the remote trigger to start the PageSense timer. You send the fax to the MFP, and PageSense detects the output via its PageSense sensor. The sensor detects output, and PageSense captures and reports performance.įax measures the time it takes to print a fax at the MFP. The remote trigger starts the timer when you push the Copy button. Print from Anywhere is a semi-automated test that monitors performance from platforms not currently supported by PageSense, such as Mac OS® or Linux®.Ĭopy is a semi-automated test that remotely monitors copy performance.

Print from PageSense uses application test files and an automated process for printing and recording time measurements with a sensor unit.
