Your printer has two resident printer control modes: BJ-10 mode and Epson LQ mode. BJ-10 mode is the default.

If you were able to select a Canon BJ printer or the IBM Proprinter X24E through your application program, you will want to use the printer in BJ-10 mode. This mode gives you the fullest range of features.

If your application program does not support the Canon BJ or the IBM Proprinter X24E printers, but does support an Epson LQ printer, you can use the printer in LQ mode.

You can also select a printer control mode based on specific text features you want to use in your document. If you will be printing only text (no graphics), select LQ mode if Epson drivers are available. If you plan to print both text and graphics, select BJ-10 mode.

The following table lists the fonts and pitches that are available in each printer control mode.
