1.4.2

SelecType Functions
SelecType
allows the user to choose fonts and the printing mode easily. This function provides for
selection of Draft, Roman, or Saris Serif fonts and selection of normal printing or condensed
printing modes.
SelecType
is effective only when the printer is ON LINE and not printing.
To select Roman or Saris Serif, press the
NLQ
button. A buzzer sounds when the
NLQ
button is
pressed. When it sounds twice, the Roman font is selected. When it sounds three times, the Saris
Serif font is selected.
To select the Draft font, press the DRAFT button. The buzzer will sound once, indicating that the
DRAFT
font is selected.
To set for condensed printing when the printer is in the print mode, press the CONDENSED button
once (the buzzer will sound once), and the printer will enter the condensed print mode.
To cancel condensed printing, press the CONDENSED button again. After you press the button,
the buzzer sounds twice to tell you that condensed printing is canceled.

1.4.3 Micro Adjustment

By pressing the FORM FEED or LINE FEED buttons immediately after loading paper or when
using the tear-off feature, you can make tine adjustment to the loading and tear-off positions.

1.4.4 Panel Operation at Power ON

The following functions can be activated at power on by holding down the specified button on the
control panel.
Self-test mode:
To begin printing the self-test in the Draft mode, turn the printer ON while
pressing the LINE-FEED button. To begin printing the self-test using the
NLQ
mode (Near Letter Quality), press FORM FEED and hold it down, then
turn the printer power ON.
Self-test printing can be stopped or started by pressing ON-LINE (ON-LINE
indicator is not lit). To finish the self-test, stop the printing by pressing the
ON-LINE switch then turn OFF the printer power.
The firmware revision number is printed as the first line of the self-test, and
subsequently, current DIP switch settings are printed.
Hex Dump mode:
The printer enters the HEX-DUMP mode when it is powered on while the
LINE-FEED and FORM-FEED buttons are pressed down.
In the HEX-DUMP mode, the hexadecimal representation of the input data is
printed out, along with corresponding ASCII characters. This function is
valuable for checking the data the printer has received from the host. If input
data is a control code rather than a character code, a period (.) is printed in
the ASCII column.
