The seven buttons to the left on your control panel are multi-function buttons. In routine printer operation, they are used to manipulate the paper, but you can also use them to enter and make changes in the printer’s program menu.

The PRINT QUALITY and CHARACTER PITCH sections at the right on the front panel are used to select the quality and size of the printing. See “Performing Basic Tasks” later in this chapter for information on how to use these buttons.

Important! The print quality and character pitch set by means of the front panel can be overridden by commands sent by the commercial software package from which you’re printing a document. If you run into this problem, see Chapter 5 for information on how to correct it.
