** Print speed indicates an approximate print speed and is measured from the time a card drops into the output hopper
to the time the next card drops into the output hopper. Print speeds do not include encoding time or the time needed for
the PC to process the image. Process time is dependent on the size of the file, the CPU, amount of RAM and the amount
of available resources at the time of the print.
