Windows users will have most settings, such as font selection and zoom resolution, determined by their computer, rather than the printer’s control panel. If you try to make these settings using the control panel keys, it will have no effect.

MS-DOS users can use the control panel to change font and to take advantage of the printer’s other features, such as the zoom and quiet printing modes.

There are three keys on the panel: (FONT],[PAPER] and [READY).Each key has a number of different functions. Sometimes they are used on their own, and sometimes they are pressed together. Chapter 4 provides a full description of the different control panel operations.
