If the EC button is pressed when the printer is turned on, the pitch will be “locked”, and no pitch changes can be made from software. It is still

possible, however, to put the printer off-line and change the pitch using the TPIGS button.

QUALITY SETTING

The printer is capable of 3 print quality modes: Super Letter Quality (SLQ), Letter Quality and Draft. Successive presses of the ‘YOOE:button will alternate between these three settings(the SLQ mode is indicated by the top indicator showing orange). Remember that the printer must be off-line for you to do this. Holding down this button will cycle continuously between these three options. However, not every typeface can be printed in every mode (see the table below for details of what fonts are available in each mode), and so the FONT indicator may change as you change the mode.
