When purchasing a new copier, keep in mind that rated speed--a factor to consider because it helps cut costs--often is inflated. Manufacturers derive rated speed, measured in copies per minute (cpm), by placing an original on the platen glass and seeing how many copies are produced in a one-minute period, says Jeff Smith of Buyers Laboratory, Inc. Factors that can slow this speed include speed of the copier's document feeder (which may be faster or slower than the copier engine), the number of originals copied, and various copier modes such as duplexing.
