GLOSSARY OF TERMS CPI: Characters Per Inch CPS: Characters Per Second

Draft: Draft uses a minimum number of dots per character for high-speed printing.

Elite: 12 Characters Per Inch (12 CPI)

Pica: 10 Characters Per Inch (10 CPI)

LQ: Letter Quality reduces the print speed and increases the number of dots per character to increase the print quality. (24-pin printers only)

N W : Near Letter Quality reduces the print speed and increase the number of dots per character to increase the print quality. NLQ printing requires two passes per character. (Q-pin printers only)
