Printer Evolution
The following models have been added to the LP Series:
Printing speed is determined by the interaction of many variables. The speeds listed in the table above are the highest speeds attainable under certain conditions. For more information about printing speeds, refer to the section entitled "Printing Rates" in Appendix B.
The microprocessor of the Data Controller unit on the CMX controller board runs at 25 MHz or 40 MHz, depending on printer model. This means there are two kinds of CMX controller board for these printers, used as indicated in the table above. The 40 MHz controller board, however, is backwards compatible with all models that use the 25 MHz board.
