Issue
Portable Brady printers and LabelMark software only allow 2 decimal points for the repeat length or label length.
Cause
By design the BMP21 /BMP21-PLUS / BMP21-LAB only allows 1 decimal point however the BMP41, BMP51, BMP53 (with use of LabelMark), and the BMP71 are limited to 2 decimal points due to the DPI of the print head.
A 300 DPI printer can only increment in .0033333333". By allowing 2 decimal places, you have 0.010" increments, which the firmware can properly deal with. If the printers would allow more then 2 decimal places due to the above calculation the label length or repeat length tolerance wouldn’t be able to be held.
Lastly while both LabelMark and the BMP71 manually allow you to type in more than 2 decimal points the firmware or software override the setting to the first two decimal points.
Note: While the Brady Workstation Patch Panel app does allow up to 3 decimal places, this is only compatible with printers that support this degree of precision (600 DPI models). At this time Brady does not offer a portable printer with a 600 DPI print head. Contact Brady's Product Specialists for inquiries about purchasing 600 DPI printers for high-precision label creation.
