Using the Default Setting Mode
Additional printer functions are available through the Default
setting mode. Because the printer’s factory defaults are
designed to meet the needs of almost all users, you rarely need
to change the printer functions listed below. If necessary,
however, you can turn on the Default setting mode and change
the settings using the control panel buttons.
❑ Print direction. Specifies how the print head moves across
the page. The options are Uni-D, Bi-D, and Auto (default).
When Uni-D is on, the print head prints in only one
direction to provide the most precise alignment for
graphics and text. In Bi-D printing, the print head prints in
both directions. Bi-D is faster but the vertical alignment
may not be as precise as Uni-D. When Auto is selected, the
printer switches automatically between Uni-D and Bi-D as
necessary when it receives data.
❑ Font and Pitch. Select the built-in printer font and character
pitch used as the default. Normally you use your software
to select the font and pitch. The default Font and Pitch is
Courier 10 cpi (characters per inch).
