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.
