Note: In order to conserve power, SureMark Models TI3, TI4, TI8, TI9, TG3, TG4,
TG8, TG9, TF6 and TM6 reduce their throughput when printing high print
densities, such as logo messages or full black lines. Because these types of
print messages are used on a limited basis, the overall performance when
printing a customer receipt is not noticeably affected.
The reduced print speed is based on the number of print dots that are turned
on for a given print line, which is defined as dot utilization. Dot utilization is
typically low for normal character printing and up to 100% for full black line
printing. The SureMark printer operates at 52 lps at low dot utilization, and at
slower speeds as the dot utilization increases.

LwAd The declared upper limit of the sound power level for a random
sample of machines.
LpAm The mean value of the A-weighted sound pressure levels at the
operator position (if any) for a random sample of machines.
<LpA>m
The mean value of the A-weighted sound pressure levels at the
one-meter (bystander) positions for a random sample of machines.
N/A Indicates not applicable.
