NOTE
Although the following data format is different from the format specified for
TermiNet 300 Printers, all data formatted for TermiNet 300 Printers will be
accurately printed by TermiNet 1200 Printers when operated at, or below, the
baud rate for which the data was formatted. However, the efficiency of printing
on the TermiNet 1200 Printer may be improved by reformatting the data to take
advantage of the greater memory of the TermiNet 1200.

A new line must be at least 300 milliseconds long, including the platen moving code at the end, if it follows a line
which has one or more printable characters and ends in LF. This time allows the last printable character on the
previous line to be printed and the line feed to be executed before the next platen moving code is received.
This rule is satisfied during normal text where LF is the only platen moving code if each line including the LF code
is a minimum of 36 characters long at 1200 baud, 9 characters long at 300 baud, 5 characters long at 150 baud, or 3
characters long at 110 baud.
