The proliferation of Information Technology and Business Automation become the mainstay of the growth of world printer market. Especially the demand for high speed printers increases drastically as the need for printing service station in networked computing environment grows. However outstanding research activities are seldom reported. Only efforts are currently focused on the printing quality and development of application programs for low or midium speed printers. This stimulates the research for high-speed printers. In this paper, we first defined the architectural components of high-speed printers so that the performance requirements can be satisfied. The individual impacts of each module on overall throughput are then elaborately analysed. Based on this result, we accomplished well-tuned system architecture which presents up to 163.52 PPM. Another contribution of this paper can be found in that this is one of the first articles that deal with the architecture and the performance of high-speed printers.
