interesting difference between the Epson, Konica Minolta and OKI
printers is their rated speeds. The first two reckon their
printers can touch 34ppm, while OKI is a little more modest, at
30ppm. Our five page text and text and graphics prints only gave
the OKI a top speed of 18ppm, but since it's a workgroup
printer, we ran the 20 page test, too, which gave 25ppm. This is
because the fixed print preparation time is a smaller proportion
of the whole print job on the 20-page test; if we ran a 50-page
test, we'd get an even faster time, possibly approaching 30ppm.
The reason we don't use longer documents for speed testing is
that we don't believe the majority of print jobs in typical
office environments run to that length. Office document length
still averages around five pages and most multiple copies are
still in the three to five range.  Print quality is very good.
Text characters are exceptionally well formed. Even though the
