SelecType Overview

The SelecType feature gives you a simple means to control your printer. When you lift the printer cover and use the SelecType panel, you can control most of the printer’s functions-from the simplest to the most complex.

Use SelecType’s menu-based system to do the following:

•Change your printer configuration without adjusting any DIP switches

•Select most font or print options without entering software commands.

You don’t have to learn everything about SelecType to use your printer, but a basic understanding of the menu structure and the SelecType panel helps you control the most common functions quickly.

When you are in SelecType mode, the left digit of the display shows a number or letter corresponding to one of SelecType’s 16 menus. The right digit of the display shows a number or letter corresponding to an option for that menu. See your Quick Reference card for complete tables of SelecType menus and options.

SelecType panel buttons and their functions are listed below. Lift the printer cover to reach the SelecType panel.
