This feature selects the default font and character pitch.
Spacing
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 graphic data, Spacing has no affect so that multiple lines of graphics may print adjacent to each
other.
Left Margin
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 leftmost print position
is determined by the Left Paper Guide position as described in the Options Menu on page 23.) The left margin
must be less than the right margin.
Right Margin
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. (The rightmost print
position is determined by the Right Paper Guide position as described in the Options Menu on page 23.
Text characters and graphic data that would have printed to the right of the margin will be truncated.
Note: The FieldPro RT43 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.
