When the printer is in 3/P/Si mode:
❐ The FONT procedure displays the currently selected font source (RD [resident], A
[card slot], C [cartridge slot], or DL [downloaded]). To select the font card slot, select
font source A. Then select the required font number.
❐ The font that you want may not be available if it does not contain the currently se -
lected symbol set. For best results, select the appropriate symbol set with the SYM -
SET routine (see page B- 7), then choose the font.
When the printer is in LQ or FX mode:
❐ You do not need to specify the font source. The fonts on the card that are available
will appear on the display along with the resident fonts.
- Using a font card and a font cartridge at the same time -
This will give you a wider range of fonts in 3/P/Si mode. The printer adjusts the font
numbers in the cartridge by adding them to the total number of fonts on the card in the
card slot. Then you can select from the full range of fonts as if you had a single font
card, with the fonts numbered from 0 up to the total number of fonts contained on both
the card and the cartridge.
For example, if the fonts on the font card are numbered from 0 to 4 and the fonts in the
font cartridge are also numbered from 0 to 4, the fonts on the card will be numbered
from 0 to 4, and the numbers of fonts on the cartridge will start from 5. All these fonts
will appear on the A source in the FONT procedure. The FONT procedure for 3/P/Si
mode is on page B- 5.
Using the Epson GL Emulation Mode Card
The Epson GL card adds the Epson GL mode to your list of possible emulation modes.
Epson GL mode emulates the HP7475A/7440A plotter.
Observe the following guidelines when using the optional Epson GL card:
❐ You must allocate at least 1.5 megabytes (MB) of RAM for the channel that will use
Epson GL mode. This means that you will have to add at least 0.5 MB of RAM to
your printer before you can use GL mode.
❐ If you are using GL mode on the serial (S) channel with the CH feature set to AUTO -
SENSE: a) The power-on default channel becomes the serial channel,
b) The serial channel cannot receive any data while another channel is receiving
data, c) You can only select the serial channel when the indicator is off.
