Maximum Print Position (MPP)
The maximum print position (MPP) equals the number of characters the printer
prints on a line. The default value is 132.
The CPI setting you choose directly influences the MPP value you select. The
MPP and CPI settings determine the length of the print line. The maximum line
length for the printer is 345.44 mm (13.6 in.).
The CPI setting and the line length determine the MPP. Multiply the CPI by the
line length to determine the appropriate MPP:
MPP = CPI x line length (in inches)
Notes:
|
1. Setting the MPP larger than the paper width can result in lost data because of
|
printing on the platen and may damage the platen and the print head.
