Selecting the Optional Fonts
After you have installed the optional font card, you can select optional
fonts by any of the following methods:
1. Through your application software
2. With a font selection command
3. With the FONT switch
When you select fonts through your application software, follow the
instructions specific to your software. Refer to your software manual if
you need assistance. When you select fonts with a font selection
command, embed the font selection command in your program. See the
Technical Reference Manual, which is optionally available for this printer.
✒ Note
When you select the fonts through your software or with a command, note
the following:
• You do not need to be concerned about the FONT switch setting. The
software or command setting overrides the switch setting.
• Be sure to install the font card that has your desired fonts. The printer
automatically selects the font that has exactly the same or similar
characteristics as those you set through the software or with a
command. If the installed font card happens to have a font of similar
characteristics, the printer will print in an unexpected font.
To select fonts with the FONT switch, follow these basic steps:
1.Print out the list of optional fonts in the PRINT FONTS C mode with
the SHIFT and TEST switches.
See “Printing the Test Pattern or Font List” in Chapter 2.
