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)
If your CPI is:
MPP cannot be greater than:
10
136
12
163
15
204
16.7
227
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 printhead.
2.
This parameter can be overridden by the computer.
