Dot Matrix Line Printing
Unlike single head dot matrix printing, the Printronix P6000L/P6200L Series creates graphics
and characters by printing an entire dot row at one time. As shown in Figure 1-2, dots are
printed in both directions of shuttle travel. In the 400 line per minute printers, the shuttle
sweeps through three tenths (3/10) of an inch. In the 800 line per minute printers, the shuttle
through two tenths (2/10) of an inch. P

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 and consequently,
those characters are printed at a slower rate. Table 1-1 describes the print rate according to
of character printed and print mode. Complete printing specifications are provided in the

well as character printing, the printer is capable of dot addressable graphic plotting. Based
on the protocol selected, either P-Series Plot Mode or Serial Matrix Bit Image Graphics is
used; the plot rate specifications apply to both P-Series and Serial Matrix types of graphic
plotting. The plot rate (in inches per minute, ipm) is described in Table 1-2 according to the

P-Series emulation mode

Serial Matrix emulation mode
The
selected protocol determines which programming standard is used by the host computer to
communicate with the printer. Either protocol can be selected as required by the application.
