Selecting a Font and Pitch
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 fonts (in different pitches) with the buttons on the printer’s control panel, as described below. (The settings you make in application programs usually override settings you make from the printer’s control panel.) The pitches available depend on the font you select:
Font | Pitch |
HSD | 10, 12, 15, 17, 20 |
Draft | 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, PS* |
Roman | 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, PS* |
Sans Serif | 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, PS* |
Courier | 10, 12, 15, 17, 20 |
Prestige | 10, 12, 17, 20 |
Script | 10, 12, 17, 20 |
Others | 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, PS* |
* Proportional spacing
Note:
You can select other fonts in addition to the seven fonts on the control panel by selecting Others. See “Changing the Printer’s Default Settings” on page 38 for more information about the Font setting.
1.Make sure that the printer is not printing. If it is, press the Pause button to stop printing. Then press the Font button until the three Font lights indicate the desired font.
