Note:

The font setting you make with the above procedure can be changed if the software you are using overrides the setting on the control panel. You can prevent this in some applications by using the following procedure to put the printer into the Font Lock Mode when you turn it on.

Entering the Font Lock Mode

When the printer is in the Font Lock Mode, the font settings you make on the control panel are used even if your software tries to override the font. Use the following procedure to enter the Font Lock Mode.

❏Turn off the printer.

❏While holding down FONT, turn printer power on.

The printer is now in the Font Lock Mode. You could enter the Font Lock Mode and Pitch Lock Mode (page 22) at the same time by holding down both FONT and PITCH when you turn on printer power.

To exit the Font Lock Mode, simply turn the printer off.

Important!

Font lock will not function if you are using Windows Truetype fonts.
