We’ll explain about the “Panel” mode, which is powerful func- tion of the printer. Some commercial software does not support defining your own selections. In this case, use the “Panel” mode.

Selection of the Panel Mode at power-on ensures that your choices remain in effect until you turn the power off. This means that the printer will ignore any codes sent by the soft- ware that you are using. The Panel Mode allows selection of the character quality (Draft or NLQ).

If you want to set the Panel mode, press the NLQ key on the

control panel when you turn on the power. After a second, you - - will hear a beep, and the ON LINE indicator will glow. If you

want to change the character, press the ON LINE key, press the NLQ key once again to make your choice, and press the ON LINE key again.
