Selecting Typestyles

Condensed mode

You can use the condensed mode to change the character size. In the condensed mode, characters are approximately 60% of the width of normal characters. Hence, condensed printing is very useful for spreadsheets and other applications where you need to print the maximum amount of information on a page. Both 10 and 12 cpi in draft mode can be condensed but NLQ cannot.

To select or cancel condensed mode, press the CONDENSED (LOAD/EJECT) button when the printer is on line. When the condensed mode is selected, the beeper sounds once. When the condensed mode is canceled, the beeper sounds two times.

The following printout compares normal 10 and 12 cpi with condensed 10 and 12 cpi.
