nTHE DRAFT-QUALITY MODE

You’ll probably want to use the draft-quality mode whenever you need to print a fast draft of your work, but when you see all the ca- pabilities this mode offers, we think you’ll use it even more often, To switch from LQ to DQ you have two choices:

.Turn on DIP switch 1-5, or

.Enter the proper code through your word processing program (shown in Table 4-5).

If you plan to use both the LQ and DQ modes frequently, you will probably want to program the necessary codes right into your word processor’s installation program.

In the draft mode, you can use the same features you learned earlier in this manual to accent your text: double-strike, emphasized, underlined and expanded print. You’ll use the same codes to turn these features on and off. Now let’s see some of the other things the draft mode can do for you.
