Usually, you use your application program to select the font and pitch you want to use in a document. However, you can select one of the printer’s five fonts (in different pitches) with the buttons on the printer’s control panel, as described below.
Note: Settings you make in application programs usually override settings you make from the printer’s control panel. For best results, use your application to select a font and make other settings.
The available pitch depends on the font you select. See the table below for more information.
