Character Width (in Dots)

The size of the characters is the same on the 9425, 9445, 9465, and 9474 printers. However, there are more dots per horizontal inch on the 9465. Because of this, parallel characters on the 9465 only have a higher number of dots per character (across the character width). The dots per character is the same for the 9425, 9445, and 9474 printers for all characters, and for the 9465 printer for serial characters. The examples below show the difference between parallel characters and serial characters.
