line printer
     
         A {printer} that prints one entire line at a time.
        Print quality is low compared with a {laser printer}.  Line
        printers typically use {sprocket feed} and wide fanfold paper.
     
        Line printer speed is usually measured in lines per minute
        (lpm).  1200 lpm is a good rate for a line printer like a 3205
        m5.  66 lines per page is typical, giving 18 pages per minute
        (ppm).  This assumes all upper case, if a mixed case print
        train is used, throughput is halved.  By comparison, a fast
        {laser printer} can output 100+ ppm
