Spacing
Spacing
3 Lines
Possible Values: 0 … 3* … 10 Lines
When printing text, this feature sets spacing between lines. The height of a complete line, or line pitch, is
determined by adding the vertical size of the current font to the Spacing. With Spacing set to the default value
of “3” and using a font that is 23 rows high, the line pitch would be 3 + 23, or 26 dot rows. Since each dot row
is 0.125mm, 26 x 0.125 yields a line pitch of 3.25mm. or 7.8 lines per inch This line pitch value also
determines the amount of paper motion performed when an ASCII Line Feed character is received by the
printer.
When printing PC Line drawing characters, Spacing should be set to “0” to avoid space between rows of
characters used to draw vertical lines.
When printing graphic data, Spacing has no affect so that multiple lines of graphics may print adjacent to each
other.
Left Margin
Left Margin
0.0000”
Possible Values: 0.0000”* … 1.0244” in increments of 0.0394”
This feature sets the left margin in inches relative to the leftmost printing position. The left margin must be less
than the right margin.
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.
