Selection of any of the Panel Modes 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 Modes allow selection of the following printing attributes:
Type of Panel mode
Print quality (draft or NLQ) Print pitch
Italic printing

Figure 3-1.The Panel Modes – hold down keys while turning poweron.
If you want to set only one attribute, for example, the Print Pitch Panel Mode, press the PRINT PITCH 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. To change the pitch to another, press the ON LINE key, select the desired pitch, and press the ON LINE key again. The Print Pitch Panel Mode is now set to the pitch of your choice.
Similarly with Draft and NLQ – turn on the power while holding the MODE key, and wait for the ON LINE indicator glow. If you want to change the character, press the ON LINE key, press the MODE key once again to make your choice, and press the ON LINE key again. Remember that you may select which print mode is the standard one by setting DIP switch 1-2.
To select the Italic Panel Mode, press the TOF key while turn- ing on the power.
