Emulations
Emulations available on the 2900 Series:
Epson
Characters Per Inch
Seven basic Characters Per Inch (CPI) settings are available through the Con- trol Panel. They include 10, 12, 13.33, 15, 16.67, 17.14, and 20. These character matrices can be doubled to produce 5, 6, 6.67, 7.5, 8.33, and 8.57 CPI. In some emulations the availability of certain CPIs is restricted. Some emulations provide proportional spacing and justification features.
Lines Per Inch
Ten Lines Per Inch (LPI) settings are available through the Control Panel. They include 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12 LPI. In some emulations the availability of certain LPIs is restricted. Some emulations provide variable line spacing.
Type Styles
There are six resident type styles available on your printer. They include Draft, Data Processing (DP), Gothic, Courier,
Draft and Data Processing
Draft and Data Processing type styles print in two modes: Constant Density
Fonts (CDF) and Enhanced.
Constant Density Fonts print at the same dot density regardless of the CPI. This produces consistent print speed even when changing from one CPI to another.
Enhanced Mode provides higher resolution and a greater range of CPIs than CDF Mode. Because Enhanced Mode uses a variety of dot densities you should expect a change in print speed of text when switching from one CPI to another.
Gothic and Courier
These two type styles provide Near Letter Quality (NLQ) printing. They print at higher dot densities and use denser character matrixes for greater readability.
OCR–A and OCR–B
These print at 10 CPI only, mostly for Optical Character Recognition applica- tions. There are three possible
Large Character Printing
In certain emulations, large character printing is available. These characters are printed using the TallyGenicom MonoBlock Bold TrueType font. This is a monospaced
