Chapter 2
SelecType
SelecType on the LQ-2500 brings a new dimension to printing. With
SelecType you can now control almost every aspect of printer
operation.
SelecType lets you:
Use four preset macros-stored groups of settings that you can recall
with the touch of a button
Replace the preset macros with your own custom-designed macros
Set up to 20 printer settings from the SelecType panel
Choose among the LQ-2500’s five built-in fonts
Print out the printers settings with a touch of a button
Monitor the LQ's settings with the LCD panel
Change the LQ’s default settings without DIP switches, and more.
The four preset macros cover general applications: Draft/word
processing, Letter Quality/word processing, Spreadsheets, and Graphics.
However, you can create your own macros with any of the LQ’s settings.
There are no switches to reset or commands to send, you simply
load
the macro you want, then print. In fact, the LQ-2500 has no DIP
switches. All of these functions can now
be
controlled through
SelecType.
Using SelecType
The easiest way to learn SelecType is to read this chapter. Then start
pressing buttons. There is also a SelecType Quick Reference card in the
back of this manual which gives an overall diagram of SelecType.
The SelecType Panel
The SelecType panel is the part of the main control panel that deals
with SelecType. The SelecType controls are shown in
blue in
Figure 2-1
on the next page. They include the
two ENTER SelecType
buttons, and
the four buttons labeled
EXIT, MENU, SETTING,
and
OPTION.
The LCD
shows SelecType messages and settings.
