Print Rate

The print rate, in lines per minute (lpm), is a function of the number of dot rows required to produce the character line regardless of the number of characters in the line. For example, more dot rows are required to print lowercase characters with descenders; consequently, those characters take longer to print. Table 1–1 shows the print rate according to the type of character printed and print mode. Complete printing specifications are provided in Appendix C.
