Using the Control Panel

You can control simple printer operations—such as line feeding, form feeding, loading and ejecting paper, and selecting fonts— with the buttons on the control panel. The control panel lights show the printer’s status. For information on the buttons and the lights on the control panel, see “Control Panel Buttons and Lights” inside the front cover.

Selecting a built-in font

Follow these steps to select a built-in font using the buttons on the printer’s control panel:

1.Make sure that the printer is not printing. If it is, wait until printing is complete.

2.Hold down the Pause button for three seconds to enter the Micro Adjust mode. The Pause light begins to flash. The three Tear Off (Pitch/Font) lights show the current font selection.

3.Press the Pitch (Font) button repeatedly to cycle through all of the available selections; then stop when you reach the desired font with a pattern shown on the control panel. Your selection stays in effect until you change it again.

Note:

❏Settings you make in your application programs usually override settings you make from the printer’s control panel. For best results, use your application to select a font and pitch.

❏The Pitch (Font) button cannot directly select OCR-B, Orator, Orator-S, Script-C, Roman-T, or Sans Serif H. To select one of these fonts, you must first use the Default Setting mode to register it as the “other” font and then select Others using the

Pitch (Font) button.❏Bar code fonts cannot be selected via the control panel.
