Selecting Fonts
After entering the Micro Adjust mode by holding down the Pause button for three seconds, you can change font settings with the Tear Off button. The two Tear Off lights come on (n) and go off (o) to show the current selection. Press the button repeatedly to cycle through all of the available selections; then stop when you reach the desired font.
Your selection stays in effect until you change it again or turn off the printer. However, any font choices you make with your software will cancel your control panel selection. The table below shows how the Tear Off lights appear for each selection.
