Mt3 Emulation

Selecting Mt3 Emulation allows applications written for the Printek Mt3 series printers to operate properly

when printing to an MtP400. When in this emulation, the printer matches the print width of the Printek Mt3 by

only allowing printing to occur on the leftmost 2.83 inches (576 dots) of the print line.

For information on selecting emulations using Escape Sequences, please refer to “Selecting Emulations” on

page 3. For information selecting emulations through the printer’s control panel set up, please refer to the

MtP400 Series Operator’s Manual.
