- I have just tried connecting a IIvx to a LW IINTX using a serial
- connection at 9600 baud (in order to print using the DMM LW package).
- The data transfer though seems to take for ever - about 80 seconds
- for a 10K file. I need not say what this means if you want to
- print a file containing TrueType fonts (over 200K, even with the TrueDict
- stripped out). It takes about the same using a terminal emulator
- just to send the postscript file.
-
- Anyone have any idea why this is so slow???
