Printing Characteristics

Printer throughput, in lines per minute (LPM), is a factor of the selected print mode. The P3000 Series nominal print rates are listed below and assume a tolerance of five percent and an adequate input data rate. Printing speed is independent of the number of characters configured in the character set repertoire. Print lines containing bold/emphasized (shadow) printing, superscripts, subscripts, or elongated (double high) attributes will print at approximately one–half the rates shown below.
