With a stopwatch you can predict how fast your printer will work. The
Imagewriter II can dump something like 350 bytes (of 9-pin data) per
second (time a screen print 512*345/8 bytes). Now, if you read the
24-pin BYTE benchmarks from 2 months ago, you find that very few
printers can approach this output speed. The one exception is the
Okidata Microline 393, which can dump 2400 bytes (of 24-pin data) per
second. This works out to slightly more square-inches per second of
printing.
Most other 24-pin printers run at 1/3 to 1/2 of the Okidata's speed.
So most 24-pin pinters are 1/3 to 1/2 as slow as the Imagewriter II,
for printing graphics bitmaps. Draft mode is better, of course.
