Default Font:

This command determines which of the two internal typefaces is the default when printing ASCII text. From the factory, a Serif font (similar to Courier) and a Sans Serif font (similar to Letter Gothic) are supplied.

Default Pitch:

This command determines default horizontal size of characters when printing ASCII text. Smaller characters (15 per inch) allow you to print more characters across a line than larger characters (10 per inch). Each character in ‘10’, ‘12’, or ‘15’ per inch mode will use the same amount of horizontal space. If ‘Proportional’ is selected, each character uses an amount of horizontal space appropriate to the characters’ intrinsic width. For example, the letter ‘i’ will occupy less horizontal space than the letter ‘w’. The value supplied here will, as noted above, affect the actual width of margin settings.

Extended Characters:

This command determines what the printer’s ESC/P® emulation does when ASCII characters with values of between 128 and 255 are received. Either the graphics characters or italic versions of the lower valued characters (32 to 127) are printed. See chart in Appendix I.
