Re: Question on IBM 4230 printer setup

Go to the print file for those printers and either/or do a chgprtf
or a ovrprtf and make either a permanet or temporary change to
PRTQLTY(*fastdraft) or (*draft) .....

One of those will most certainly affect the print speed.
(this works for any dot matrix)

The chgprtf of course will cause ALL jobs to print at *draft speed.

The ovrprtf is a better choice for selected jobs.....
