Dot Density
High resolution plot combines even dot plot with odd dot plot. (Normal
plotting uses odd dot plot only.) Even dot columns are printed then odd dot
columns are printed, which is followed by a paper advance. The result is a
pattern of overlapping horizontal dots that gives the appearance of
continuous lines.
Dot densities and plot speeds vary according to the mode you select for
Configuration Option 30 or host mode control. Dot diameter approximates
.020 inch for MVP /L150 printers, and 0.013 inch for L150/L150B printers
depending on the paper stock and ribbon being used. Dot density information
for the 150B/L150B printers is listed in Chapter 5.
