Analyzing Jobs Quickly
To analyze a job without running the entire ribbon, follow these steps:
1. Generate a sample printout of the job.
2. Find the vertical dot column with the most printed dots. Count the
number of dots printed in the dot column.
3. Compute the total number of dots that could have been printed in the dot
column. Do not count the horizontal dot rows that are not printed due to
paper movement (horizontal dot rows without dots). From this number,
compute the percentage of printed area for the dot column.
4. Multiply the percentage by 10. This is the job rate.
