Selecting a font

The printer normally prints at letter quality (LQ) using the default font you select in the EDS Mode (page 19). You can also use the following procedure to enter the Draft Mode for faster draft printing, or the OCR B Mode for bar code printing (page 24).

❏Make sure the printer is off-line (ON LINE indicator is not lit).

❏While holding down MULTI-PART, press EJECT to enter the Draft Mode (indicated when the DRAFT indicator is lit) or LF to enter the OCR B Mode (indicated when the OCR B indicator is lit).

Line feed

❏Make sure the printer is off-line (ON LINE indicator is not lit).

❏Press LF once to feed paper one line. Holding down LF continually feeds paper, one line at a time, until you release the button.

Form feed

❏Make sure the printer is off-line (ON LINE indicator is not lit).

❏While holding down LF, press ON LINE to feed the paper.

Paper eject

❏Make sure the printer is off-line (ON LINE indicator is not lit).

❏Press EJECT to eject the paper.

❏After the paper is ejected, the printer will beep and the POWER indicator will ﬂash to indicate there is no paper in the printer.

Micro feed

Use the following operation to feed the paper in very small increments. This makes it possible to align the print head exactly where you want it.

❏Make sure the printer is off-line (ON LINE indicator is not lit).

❏While holding down ON LINE, press EJECT to feed the paper backward or LF to feed the paper forward.
