First copy time
The time from the document/image is sent for copying till the copier is ready and the first (black and white) page is printed. The faster the first page out, the better.
Paper supply capacity
The maximum number of pages that can be loaded to the paper supply tray at one time.
Black Ink Page Yield
The maximum number of pages that the printer's ink can copy. The value is rather conditional, in fact the deviations from this value are very large (up or down).
