Printronix MVP Series user manual Print Modes for Raster Plots

Print Modes for Raster Plots

The second function switches allow you to manually select among the print or plot modes (see Table 5–2). When manually set, the last valid mode command received before printing will determine the line print mode. The features listed as available in a particular mode are accessible on a per character basis and can be combined within a line, and in some cases, within a character matrix. However, print modes cannot be mixed on the same line. Raster plotting is available in all modes on a per dot row basis (i.e. the entire line must be plot) .

	Special features that can be selected in each mode are included in the
	“Features Available” section of Table 5–2. The letter codes are defined as
	follows:
	B = Bold (Double Strike)		S = Shadow (Emphasized)
	U = Underlining		E = Elongated (Double High)
	W = Double Wide on Per Character Basis

*Dependent upon configuration of option 56. **Mode 6 operable only if option 20.0 is selected.

NOTE: All features are available in all modes with the following exceptions: in Condensed (Mode 5), shadow print is not available; in High Speed Plot (Mode 4), none of the features are provided; and in Expanded Print (Mode 6), per character double wide is excluded.
