All five fonts are available through SelecType, or with the LQ button.
You can switch to draft quality from any of the fonts, but there is only
one style of draft.
Selecting fonts with the LQ button-You
can switch among the five
fonts without having to go into SelecType. Pressing the LQ button while
the printer is on line selects the current LQ font. The name of the font
is displayed for a few seconds, then the f
ON
LINE1 message returns.
However, if you press the LQ button again,
while the current font
name is displayed,
the name of the next font is displayed. Each
pressing of the LQ button continues the rotation through the five fonts,
To select a font, press the LQ button until the font you want is
displayed, then wait for the [
ON
LINE1 message to return. The font
you select then becomes the current setting.
Fonts selected with the LQ button temporarily override SelecType font
settings. For example, you might load a macro that has the Courier font.
If you decide to print in Sans Serif instead, you could simply use the LQ
button to temporarily select the Sans Serif font. The next time you use
the macro, Courier will still be installed. Selecting fonts with the LQ
button doesn’t change macro settings, it only overrides them until
another setting or macro is selected.
Selecting fonts with
SelecType-There are two ways to select a font
with SelecType. You can include the font in a macro, or you can change
the font in the current settings. SelecTypes *Print Out Settings mode
lets you check the fonts in the four macros, as well as the current font
setting.
When you are selecting different fonts, be aware that
on&
the fonts
change, not the pitch settings. Each font has designated pitches; to
make the fonts look their best, they should be printed in these pitches.
See the following section on Print Pitch and Character Width for a full
explanation.
Font cartridges
Additional fonts are available in font cartridges that plug into either
connector in the option cartridge compartment. See your Epson dealer
for more information on both of these options.
