Speed

Printer speed refers to the number of pieces of mail that can be processed in an hour. The DA300 can process 4200 # 10 envelopes per hour, depending on the address content and configuration. Printer speed depends on the number of characters per line, the number of lines, char- acter size, font, interface, barcode, material size and graphics.

Print Qualities

The printer has three selectable print qualities: Draft (fastest speed), Letter (medium speed) and Executive (slowest speed).

Internal Fonts

A font is a set of characters (letters, numbers and sym- bols) that use the same typeface. The DA300 has five internal typefaces: Courier, Sans Serif, Roman, OCR-A, and OCR-B. You can select these fonts from the printer control panel menus. If you set up a print job from your computer, however, you can use any font that is available from your software application.

Font Size

Font size refers to the size of each typeface. The DA300 uses a 12 point size for each internal font. When you are using downloaded fonts, you can select other sizes.
