Printer Configuration

Right Margin

Right Margin
0.0000”

Possible Values: 0.0000”* … 1.2608” in increments of 0.0394”

This feature sets the right margin in inches relative to the rightmost printing position.

Text characters that would have printed to the right of the margin will either be “wrapped around” and printed
on the next line, or will be discarded based on the setting for “Truncate Lines” in the Options Menu.

Graphic data that would have printed to the right of the margin will be truncated.

Note: The MtP400 has a maximum print width of 4.1”. However, when Mt3 Emulation has been selected,

the Right Margin will begin indenting from a maximum print width of 2.84” to match the
characteristics of the Printek Mt3 Series printers.

Print Contrast

Print Contrast
0

Possible Values: -75 … 0* … +125 in increments of 5 (+35* for LP Models)

The printer automatically adjusts the amount energy used in order to maintain constant print quality as the
battery discharges during use. The Print Contrast setting modifies the value that is determined to be needed by
the printer and may be used to obtain improved print quality on different qualities of thermal print media.

Note: By affecting the relative amount of battery energy that is used when printing, the Print Contrast

setting affects both print speed and battery life. Setting a lower value will result in faster printing
and will extend normal battery life. Setting a higher value may allow the use of poorer quality media
and will result in slower printing and a shorter battery life.

Maximum Paper Speed

Max Paper Speed
3.30 ips

Possible Values: Standard Roll Feed Models – 0.32 …3.30* ips

LP Models – 0.32 … 2.30* … 3.30 ips

SL Models – 0.32 …2.30* ips

This feature may be used to reduce the maximum paper speed if necessary to allow the printer to use heavier
papers, labels, narrow paper or labels, or some coated papers that have a more slippery finish.

Form Feed Distance

FFeed Distance
1.2608

Possible Values: 1.0000 … 1.2608* … 2.5216 inches

This feature sets the distance that paper is to be moved whenever the user presses the Paper Feed Button or a
Form Feed character is received from a host system.

Note: This feature is available in printers with firmware revision 2.0 and higher.
