Questions

Level 2

• Presets
  • changing a preset- what is effected?
  • is it understood what a preset is and how the ensuing print is influenced?
• Do users see the differences in the preview and the summary?
  • is the summary information noticeable and informative?
• relationship between no. of copies, no. of pages and paper use
• do users understand collate and the collate symbol?
• Page range- no. of pages and no of pages printed- is it clear why this can be different, and how it changes when certain parameters are changed?
• Can users easily find level 3?

Level 3

Tags

Are the tag names informative, can users use tags to achieve their aims? ( we know from the previous test that they broadly understand how tags work)

• do they understand the differences between tags and presets?
• can users see the relationship between level 2 and level 3 clearly?
• can users get back to level 2 easily- do they want to?

Specific Parameters:

These are the parameters which will be able to be tested

• page range- can users change a page range
• pages per side - n-up

should print on (media selection) also be tested?

Test group criteria

• We would definitely prefer English native speakers.
• We would like the group to include people who use printers in an office/networked environment.

Further issues

• Can users save a preset?
  • Do they understand what that would mean and why it could be done?

• Do users understand scrolling through pages, do they get the arrows for documents of 2 pages?
