Appendix 2: Printable Line Speeds
The following table shows the line speed at which good printing will be obtained for each raster type and
printhead model at ideal pitch:
The line speeds shown above can be adjusted if printing at more than ideal pitch, i.e. double or treble
pitch (see “Appendix 1: Installation and Setting Up”).
NOTE: Print quality will be impaired if printing takes place at anything other than ideal pitch.
Ideal Pitch
Otherwise known as single pitch, this is dependent on the raster (i.e. printer type) being used. Printers
with the faster rasters have an increased pitch capacity because the overall character height is larger.
This helps to form “square” (more precise and uniform) characters.
Double Pitch
Twice the ideal pitch. Print height may need to be increased to maintain character proportion.
Treble Pitch
Three times the ideal pitch. Print height may need to be increased to maintain character proportion.
