Slew Rate
This menu is used to set the speed at which paper can be moved
through the printer during the printing operations (form feeds,
vertical moves, etc.) The reduced slew speed can be useful if the
printer is experiencing trouble with heavy stock or stiff multi-part
forms. Using the reduced slew speed can slow throughput
considerably.

When saving a format, the operator is given the choice to save the
