Psion Teklogix MLP 3040 Series Printer User Manual


 
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 MLP 3040 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 Psion Teklogix 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.
