A printer that prints one entire line at a time. Print quality is low Compared with a laser printer. Line printers typiCally use sproCket feed and wide fanfold paper. Line printer speed is usually measured in lines per minute (lpm). 1200 lpm is a good rate for a line printer like a 3205 m5. 66 lines per page is typiCal, giving 18 pages per minute (ppm). This assumes all upper Case, if a mixed Case print train is used, throughput is halved. By Comparison, a fast laser printerCan output 100+ ppm (1999-01-13)
