Condensed printing

Condensed printing reduces the size of characters to approximately 60 percent of their normal width, allowing more characters to fit on a line. This is useful for spreadsheets and other software that needs to print the maximum amount of information on a page.

You can condense most fonts by pressing the ECONOMY/CONDENSED button. (Epson Roman T,

Epson Sans Serif H, and 15-cpi printing cannot be condensed.)The printout below shows condensed lo-cpi printing.T h i s i s 10 cpi p r i n t i n g .This is condensed 10 cpi printing.Note:

Ifyour software controls characterfonts nnd cm select the condensed mode, you should select condensed mode through the software rather than with the control panel. Software or command settings usually override panel settings.

Using the Default-Settings Mode

Your printer comes with a series of internal settings that control a variety of printer functions, such as print direction and auto line feed. Because these settings take effect each time you turn on the printer, they are called default settings.

The factory default settings are designed to meet most user’s needs, so you may not need to change them. The table below lists the features you can set in the default-settings mode.

For a detailed description of each setting, see “Default settings descriptions.” To change a setting, see “Changing the default settings” on page 3-11.
