Near letter quality is an obsolete Computer engineering term for a computer printer that produces output quality that is almost as good as the quality of a conventional typewriter. Modern computer printers are universally at or beyond letter quality - so this term is no longer needed.
The term was also used for the specific mode that a printer might support that would allow printing to happen more rapidly in near letter quality than when printing at maximum quality. Some printers would also have a draft mode that was even poorer in quality but yet faster.
