Appendix A
Printing Rates
Printing rates also vary according to the print quality you select. For example
if you select the NEAR LQ option, the printer uses more dot rows and slower
print strokes to form characers than if you choose the HI-SPEED option.
Character formation and print speed are faster in HI-SPEED because the
printer uses fewer dot rows to form characters.
