- *Specification is based on 25% vertical image density, meaning print image exists on 25% of the available vertical dot rows. If the vertical coverage is higher or lower, the speed will decrease or increase proportionally. The width of the image has no effect on the print speed. The highest resolution is typically used with high density barcode applications. OpenPrint has the ability to speed up when lower resolutions are used.
