The Orator style is unique in two ways. First, it is a dot larger (higher) than the other styles. This makes it a good choice for labels and other text requiring high visibility. A little extra line spacing helps when Orator is used.

Second, there are two versions of the Orator type style: one prints small capitals in place of lower-case letters; the other prints lower-case letters, but without descenders. The version you get when you select Orator from the control panel depends on the DIP switches. If DIP switch l-3 is OFF, lower-case Orator will print as lower case. Otherwise it will print as small capitals.

The other type styles do not have a small-capitals option. Lower case always prints as lower case.

The type style can also be selected by printer commands given in Ap- pendix B. Printer commands enable you to select both Orator styles, and also draft italic, which cannot be selected from the control panel.

POWER-UP FUNCTIONS

In addition to their normal functions, all the control panel switches have special functions that operate if you hold them down while switching power on.
