How it works
The line you send is wiped in from left to right at one speed per character, because a print head cannot hurry. Then the roll feeds one line: the whole strip moves by a transform, so nothing is laid out again while it moves.
It itemises by length because that is all a printer knows about your words. The total prints when you tear it off.
