If you try to combine proportional with condensed, proportional will
override condensed, no matter which you choose first. When you have
selected condensed and then press the proportional button, it beeps
three times to tell you that it is overriding condensed. (The condensed
button light goes off also.)
If you have selected proportional and then press the condensed
button, it beeps three times to tell you that you cannot select condensed
without changing to pica or elite first.
How to Use SelecType
Now you can try the various SelecType possibilities by printing a
short sample document created with an application program. Create a
sample and then perform the following two steps.
1. Press the button or buttons for the print styles that you want to use.
Each button will confirm your selection by beeping and lighting up.
2. Print the document using your application program’s print
command.
If you print a short sample two or three times using different
SelecType settings, you will quickly see how easy it is to use SelecType
because the lighted buttons tell you what mode the printer is using at
any time.
lf SelecType Does Not Work
Some application programs are designed to control all typestyle
functions. Before each printing operation, these programs cancel all
previous typestyle settings by sending a signal (INIT) or by sending
specific control codes to cancel certain typestyles. These signals or
control codes may cancel your SelecType settings.
One reset signal, however, does not affect your SelecType settings.
This is the ESC @ command.
You can see whether your program is changing your settings by
watching the buttons when printing starts. If the lights change, the
program is controlling the typestyles.
