FAQ
A few important things to know.
Does it work with every Bluetooth printer?
Operation with the Metapace M-20i over Bluetooth Classic has been confirmed. Compatibility with other models is not guaranteed.
Can I print from Apple Notes?
Yes. In the print dialog, select M-PACE PRT and a paper size of 58 × 200 or 58 × 297 mm. Leaving it set to A4 may produce incorrect output.
Can I print just one page?
Yes. In the system print dialog, select a page range such as 3–3 before clicking Print.
Does the application need to stay open?
Yes. M-PACE PRT must keep running. Quitting with Cmd + Q also stops its background print service.
Do I need to use Terminal?
Not for a standard installation. The app registers the system printer automatically; macOS may request an administrator password.
Is it available in the Mac App Store?
This version is distributed as an Apple-notarized DMG outside the Mac App Store.
