812 (4 X 203) dots in the horizontal or “X” direction, and 1218 (6 X 203) dots in the “Y”
direction.
While the maximum number of dots in the horizontal or “X” direction is limited by print head
size, it is virtually unlimited in the vertical or “Y” direction. Vertical dot rows are “stepped” by
the drive roller motor.
