Selecting Mt3 Emulation allows applications written for the Printek Mt3 series printers to operate properly.
When using this emulation in an MtP400, 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
printer’s Operator’s Manual.
The following summary lists the commands supported when Mt3 Emulation is selected. For more detailed
