Oppostite to standard printers which supports newly designed printer
command sets like MTPL, LQ or PXL24e, this firmware allows you to use
MT50D commands instead to secure backward compatibility. All other items
remain unchanged. Refer to the printer´s Operator´s Manual for detailed
information on how to handle the printer (loading paper, inserting / replacing
the ribbon cassette, programming via the control panel, etc.). NOTE: For
proper emulation of MT50D we recommend the usage of the optional
available Cutting Device.
Only MT50D commands are supported. MTPL sequences are not
implemented. Also PC-Version of MT50D is not supported. For further details
on how to program your printer using the available command sets please see
the Interface Description in English (387740) and German (387738) language
as well. For a quick overview please see the pages in this information sheet.
this firmware: 5, 6.32, 10, 12.63 CPI available
Original MT50D: 5, 6.25, 10, 12.50 CPI available
