Selecting Print Quality

Print quality button

Your printer allows you to select from four print qualities: utility, near letter quality (NLQ), high speed draft (HSD) and super speed draft (SSD). Utility printing, in Gothic, is the default, designed for preparing rough drafts or internal correspondence. NLQ printing, in Courier or Gothic (depending on MENU setting), gives you sharp, crisp characters for correspondence and important final documents that require a polished appearance. HSD and SSD printing, in Gothic, gives the fastest printing, but with the poorest quality.

To select the print quality you want, press the PRINT QUALITY button successively until the light underneath the print quality you wish to engage is lit.

Your printer also prints any of eight different bar codes accessible through printer commands. For more information on bar codes, see the end of this chap- ter.
