Control Panel

Selecting a Font and Pitch

You can select one of the printer's fonts and pitch by using the buttons on the printer's control panel, as described below.

Note:

You can select other fonts than the seven fonts on the control panel by selecting Others. Other fonts can be set in the default setting mode. See About Your Printer's Default Settings for more information.

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

The available pitch depends on the font you select. See the table below for more information.
