Max. resolution

The maximum resolution of the image to be printed. It is usually indicated by two numbers denoting the number of dpi (DPI) horizontally and vertical: 600x600, 1200x600, 1200x1200, 2400x600, 2400x1200, 4800x600, 4800x1200, 4800x2400, 5760x1440, 9600x600, 9600x2400. The detail of the image depends on this parameter - the higher the resolution, the more fine details the printer is able to convey and the better their image will be. High print resolution is important, first of all, when working with graphic material; low resolution is sufficient for high-quality text display. So

Monthly resource

The maximum number of pages the printer can print in a month while still operating at full capacity.

Mono cartridge resource

The maximum number of pages that the printer's ink (toner) can print. The value is rather conditional, in reality the deviations from the norm are very large (up or down). In inkjet printers, the cartridge life is relatively small and amounts to several hundred prints. In laser and LED devices, the bill is already in the thousands.

OPC drum resource

The photoconductor is used in laser and LED printers (see Printing technology); during use, due to constant contact with paper, scratches and abrasions appear on it, which significantly affect print quality. In some printers, the photoconductor is part of the cartridge — in this case, its resource is equal to the resource of the cartridge, the drum is installed and changed along with it. In other models, the drum is installed separately.

The drum yield is the maximum number of pages that a printer with a drum unit can print without any noticeable loss in quality. It is usually specified for printers with a separate drum. The resource is a rather approximate value, because depends on the specific conditions of using the printer, and in fact it may differ from the claimed value both in one direction and in the other.

Cartridge model

The types of cartridges (both black and white and colour) used in the printer. Some printer models are able to work with "non-native" cartridges, but this feature usually refers to undocumented features, and the manufacturer's warranty covers only specific types of cartridges. So use "non-native" models with caution.
