23 Million Chars

Possible Values: 5 … 23* … 30 Million Chars

This item sets the number of “draft equivalent” characters to be printed

before the

Change Ribbon message is displayed. “Draft equivalent” is an

indication of the average density, or number of dots, in a draft font

character. Characters printed using other fonts are weighted according to

their own density. Typically, fast draft characters have fewer dots while

letter quality and optical quality fonts have more and are weighted as fewer

or more draft characters accordingly. Graphics data are weighted according

to the actual number of dots printed.
