How do you convert CPS to PPM on a dot matrix printer?

To convert Characters Per Second (CPS) to Pages Per Minute (PPM) on a dot matrix printer, you need to know the number of characters that fit on a page. Typically, a standard page contains around 2,000 to 3,000 characters, depending on formatting. Use the formula: PPM = (CPS × 60) / characters per page. For example, if the printer operates at 300 CPS and you estimate 2,400 characters per page, the calculation would be (300 × 60) / 2400 = 7.5 PPM.
