SelecType Problems
SelecType does not function as expected.
Settings made with SelecType are ignored.
The software may either be overriding the SelecType settings
or initializing the printer. The best solution for this problem is
to use your software settings instead of SelecType settings.
Otherwise, you may need to change the initialization sequence
sent by your software. See your software manual for more
information.
You may be trying to set certain combinations of settings with
SelecType that cannot be acted on by the printer.Usually,
SelecType does not allow you to make incompatible
combinations. However, certain combinations are not checked.
You may not have saved your settings before turning off or
resetting the printer. Make sure you save your Level 1 settings
with SAVE MACRO or your Level 2 settings with P’-CONFIG
SAVE. Once you save level 1 settings in a macro, you also
select a correct macro ID with the POWERON MACRO
option. Otherwise, SelecType settings return to their previously
saved default settings after you turn off or reset the printer.
Desired SelecType settings are not displayed.
l You may be trying to select a setting that is not available in
the currently selected printer mode. Not all settings are
available in all printer modes. For example, some fonts that can
be selected in LJ-3 mode are not available in LQ or FX mode.
To check the options available in your current printer mode,
see the Appendixes.
l You may have entered the wrong level of SelecType. Make
sure the SelecType light for your selected level is on.
You may find it useful to refer to Chapter 3 or the SelecType
map on the Quick Reference card.
