D u t y C y c l e
The 9430R printer is designed to print up to 1000 inches per day. The
average print rate is 1 inch every 10 seconds at a text character print
density of 25% (i.e., one character printed out of every four positions). Bar
codes and graphics are more dense (print with more dots) than text and may
need a lower duty cycle. In high temperature environments, pause the
printer for one minute after every four (4) inches printed. If the duty cycle is
exceeded, the printer may not print all of the information that was sent to it.
