Note that a raster-style printer of this resolution and speed uses about
700k to 1 megabits per second, plus one ten point font requires about 10 or
15 kilobytes for the font template. Preformatting an entire page in memory
as a bitmap requires almost a megabyte of scratch space (needed only if
document hasn't been presorted in page order, a daisy-wheel simulator could
reasonably be limited to a 32Kbyte buffer to hold subscript/superscript
excursions.
