How to find the result yourself
- Print width is less than paper width.
- The image of the test line is calculated for a density of 8 dots per millimeter.
- The correct width must be a multiple of 8.
- Printers are divided into two types. The first type does not print dots after the maximum number.
The second type prints them on a new line.
