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.
