Note: In order to conserve power, SureMark models TI5, TG5, TF7, and TM7
reduce their throughput when printing high print densities, such as logo
messages or full black lines. Because these types of print messages are
used on a limited basis, the overall performance when printing a customer
receipt is not noticeably affected.
The reduced print speed is based on the number of print dots that are turned
on for a given print line, which is defined as dot utilization. Dot utilization is
typically low for normal character printing and up to 100% for full black line
printing. The SureMark printer operates at 52 lps at low dot utilization, and at
slower speeds as the dot utilization increases.

Notes:
LwAd The declared upper limit of the sound power level for a random sample of
machines.
LpAm The mean value of the A-weighted sound pressure levels at the operator
position (if any) for a random sample of machines.
<LpA>m
The mean value of the A-weighted sound pressure levels at the one-meter
(bystander) positions for a random sample of machines.
N/A Indicates not applicable.
All measurements were made in accordance with ISO 7779 and reported in
