12 minutes per page (6 minutes per page)
If the Macintosh is digitizing the whole page, it will take 12 - 18 mintues
just to squirt it out over 9600 baud line. (18 for a full 8.5 x 11 inch area)
At 19.2 k baud it will take 6 minutes.
This is why the drivers had better take advantage of the DeskJet's data
compression protocal.
