Printer User Manual

Interchanging Packets
You can use an MPCLII format that was designed for another
MPCLII printer on a 9800 series printer. However, the format may
appear smaller (fields will be shorter), because most of the 9800
series printers use a 203 dpi printhead. The 9850 printer has an
optional 300 dpi printhead.
Using the Format Worksheet
The Format Worksheet is divided into sections that list the field
types. Each section has boxes to fill in with parameters that
define your format. A format worksheet is included in Appendix
D, "Format Design Tools."
