Hmm... That's one error per 100 characters. There are usually many more than 100 characters per page. It's usually something like 200 every 3 lines, with ~30 lines per page, which would make 2000 characters per page. That is 20 errors per page.

Unless the 1% error rate refers to words, not to characters. Then we can estimate around 250 words per page, and 2-3 errors per page.
