Enhancing Your Printing

You can choose between the draft and NLQ fonts with either software commands or the SelecType feature. However, high-speed draft printing can only be selected by setting DIP switch 1-5 (see the section on setting the DIP switches in Chapter 3).

Note: High-speed draft printing is only available when 10 cpi printing is selected. The only print enhancements that can be combined with high-speed draft printing are underline mode and double-wide mode. If other enhancements or character sizes are selected, high-speed draft is ignored and replaced by normal draft.

Character spacing

To add greater variety to your documents, the printer has two types of character spacing, 10 and 12 cpi (characters per inch). Each is selected with a software command or a DIP switch (see the section on setting the DIP switches in Chapter 3). The printout below compares the two types.

This is 10 cpi printing.

This is 12 cpi printing.

Note: High-speed draft printing is available only in 10 cpi. If you select 12 cpi, the print speed temporarily switches to normal draft speed until 12 cpi is turned off.
