If your word-processor does not allow you to change fonts, it may allow a
pause in printing. Insert a “pause” command in your text file at the point
where you want to change fonts. When the document is printed, printing will
then pause at that point. You can then put the printer off-line and change
fonts with the front panel buttons. Then put the printer on-line again and
resume printing.
If your software package does not mention printers by name, but asks instead
what features your printer is capable of, the most common questions are:
“Can your printer perform a backspace?” and “Can it do a hardware form
feed?“. You should answer “Yes” to both these questions.
Other software packages may well alloti you to install specific features.
Spreadsheet programs will often ask for the maximum number of columns

Sometimes the software installation will ask you for an initialization
sequence to return the printer to the default settings (specified by the
Memory Switches). The command for your printer is <ES0 @ (lBh, 40h).
Make sure that the DIP switches are set for the right printer emulation, and
that you have selected the appropriate character set using the DIP switches.
If you are in any doubt about the configuration of your application software,
seek expert advice. Your software supplier will probably be your most
convenient reference.
