want to turn off either mode, press its button again. It beeps once and
the indicator light turns off to show that the mode is cancelled.
As you can see, SelecType makes it easy to choose either NLQ or
condensed, and the indicator lights always tell you which modes you’ve
selected.
Trying out SelecType is a simple three-step process:
1. Create a short sample document or file with your favorite
application program.
2. Press either or both of the SelecType buttons.
3. Print the document or file using your application program’s print
command.
If SelecType Does Not Work
Some applications 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.
If your application program changes your SelecType settings, you
have two choices:
1. Use the program’s setup procedure (which could be called by
another name, such as install) to remove the codes that interfere
with your SelecType settings.
2. Use the print control codes for your application program instead of
SelecType to control your printing. Most programs that cancel
SelecType settings also have sophisticated print control commands
that give the same results that SelecType does. The manual for your
program should explain the necessary commands.
