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 and multicolor printing. To determine which features your software supports and how to select them, refer to your software documentation.

Using the Control Panel

Use the FONT button and the MENU button to directly select one of the menus and one of the fonts listed on the printer control panel:

•Select one of the two menus

•Select one of the nine resident fonts

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.

The FONT button specifies one of the nine resident fonts defined by font names and pitches on the control panel. The selectable resident fonts are Courier 10, Prestige 12, Compressed 17, Boldface PS, Timeless PS, Nimbus Sans. PS, Draft 10, Draft 12, and High-speed Draft 10.

If you select LOCKED, the printer will ignore font commands from the computer and continue to use the font specified by the control panel. Press the LOCK button to select LOCKED.
