Notes on the print quality:
According to the application one of the two following print quality set-
tings can be selected:
–Draft print quality
This print quality is especially suited for quick draft printing. The
characters are printed with a (horizontal)density of 60 print dots per
inch.
– LQ print quality (Letter Quality)
The LQ print quality is suited for printing the (corrected) final versi-
on of a document. The characters are printed with a (horizontal)
density of 180 print dots per inch.
In comparison to the draft print quality the characters contain more
print dots. From this on the one hand a neater print face results, on
the other hand a lower print rate compared with draft printing. In LQ
print quality the type fonts “Roman” and “Sans Serif” are available
standardly for the optical arrangement of a document. Further type
fonts can be used if the appropriate font is loaded.
Notes on the character size:
– After switching on or initializing the printer the characters are prin-
ted with the data set in the emulation menu.
In normal print all the characters of one character size have the
same spacing (for example 1/10 inch with 10 cpi).
