Precautions for selecting <Option 1>
1. Prints white/black inverted characters using 5 x 9 fonts regardless of the current font size
setting.
2. Inserts a one dot string of black printing to the head of the white/black inverted charac-
ters.
3. Printing data created on a conventional red/black printer, using 1 and 2 above, there are
cases in which the printing position will shift to the right and a line of printable characters
reduced.
4. Download registered characters dened with 5 x9 fonts are printed regardless of the cur-
rent font setting (7x9/5x9).
5. Must not set “ANK default dot count = many” with the memory switch. (This will cause a
white line to appear between characters.)
Precautions for selecting <Option 2> and <Option 3>
1. Do not apply an upper line or an underline when rotating 90 or 270 degrees.
