PRINTING

Using Commercial Software

Many commercial software packages offer a wide variety of print features, including some features that are not supported by this printer. For example, software often provides a wider range of font sizes than the printer can accommodate. Software also allows you to specify multiple fonts on a page. To determine which features your software supports and how to select them, refer to your software documentation.

Using the Control Panel

Use the MENU button to directly select one of the two menus.

Printer control panel

The MENU button specifies MENU1 or MENU2, either of which allows you to specify different sets of options in advance. Some of the print features include emulation, print quality, character pitch, and line spacing.

When you first turn the printer on, the MENU 1 indicator is lit; that is, all of the print features assigned to MENU1 are enabled. However, you can easily switch to MENU2 before printing. You can also select a resident font other than the fonts assigned to MENU1 and MENU2.

NOTE

For easy reference, keep a list of your current MENU 1 and MENU 2 settings near the printer. To print a list of current settings, see the section Printing a List of Selected Options in Chapter 5. You may also want to use the space provided in Table 4.1 to record your settings.
