7 x 9 sq inch print area
x 300 x 300 dots per sq inch
x 10/8 bits per serial interface byte
/ 9600 bits per second (19200 baud)
/ 60 seconds per minute
--------------
12 minutes per page (6 minutes per page)
If the Macintosh is digitizing the whole page, it will take 12 - 18 mintues
just to squirt it out over 9600 baud line. (18 for a full 8.5 x 11 inch area)
At 19.2 k baud it will take 6 minutes.
This is why the drivers had better take advantage of the DeskJet's data
compression protocal.
