Data rates
The plotter accommodates a wide range of data rates. The speed of
the plotter can be set to 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 inches per second. To
achieve a consistent plot rate at a certain speed setting requires
minimum data rates. If data rates are inconsistent, and lower than
these minimum rates, that plot speed will not be sustained. Table
5-4 shows the minimum data rates at the four speed settings.

Table 5-4. Minimum data rates
As with all thermal plotters, slower speeds produce the highest
quality output. Plotting at a speed too high for the data may result
in the deterioration of fine details. Stops and starts caused by
inconsistent data rates may also result in a lower quality output.
