Control Panel

Selecting a Built-In Font and Pitch

Your printer comes with the twelve built-in fonts. See Printer Specifications for information of fonts you can select. You can also choose from the following six pitch (character size) settings: 10, 12, 15, 17, or 20 cpi (characters per inch), or proportional spacing. You can select the font and pitch using the buttons on the printer's control panel as described below.

Note:

Settings you make in your application programs usually override settings you make from the printer's control panel. For best results, use your application to select a font and pitch.

Follow these steps to select a built-in font or pitch using the buttons on the printer's control panel:

Make sure that the printer is not printing. If it is, press the Pause button to stop printing.

To select a font, press the Font button until the two Font lights indicate the font you want as shown below.

Font lights	Font
	Draft
	Roman
	Sans Serif
	Courier
	Prestige
	Script
	Others
= On, = Off *  others means the font selected in the default-setting mode

Note:

The Font button cannot directly select OCR-B, Orator, Orator-S, Script-C, Roman-T, or Sans Serif H. To select one of these fonts, you must first use the default-setting mode to register it as the "other" font. Note that the default "other" setting is Roman-T.

To select a pitch, press the Pitch button until the three Pitch lights indicate the pitch you want as shown below.

Pitch lights	Pitch
	10 cpi
	12 cpi
	15 cpi
	17 cpi
	20 cpi
	PS (proportional spacing)
= On, = Off
