Star Micronics NX-10 Printer User Manual


 
To better understand the way the print modes work, consider
that each mode except pica (pica is the default) has a separate
switch that can turned on and off via software. Once the switch
is on, it stays on until turned off. When two modes that conflict
are turned on at the same time, the printer must choose which
one to use.
For example, suppose you turn on both Elite and Emphasized
modes. Since these cannot combine the printer must make a
choice; in this case, the printer chooses Elite.
Summary notes
1) Pica is the default pitch and is active when Elite is turned
off.
2) When two modes conflict, the one of lesser priority is
cancelled. For example, Condensed and Emphasized can
not be printed at the same time, printing is Emphasized.
3) Elite cancels Emphasized.
4) Underline, and Expanded modes combine with any print
modes.
5) Emphasized will not mix with Elite or Condensed.
