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 applications where you need to print the maximum amount of information on a page.

You can condense 10 cpi, 12 cpi, and proportional spacing using software commands or your application program. You cannot condense 15-cpi printing. The printout below shows condensed 10 and 12-cpi printing.

This is condensed 10 cpi printing.

This is condensed 12 cpi printing.

Data Dump Mode

Data dump mode is a special feature that allows experienced users to find the cause of communication problems between the printer and computer. In data dump mode, the printer produces an exact printout of the codes it receives.

To use data dump mode, follow these steps:

1.Make sure the printer is off.

2.Hold down both the LF/FF and LOAD/EJECT buttons while you turn on the printer.

3.Load the paper.
