Pitch Panel Lock
If the EC button is pressed when the printer is turned on, the pitch will
be “locked”, and no pitch changes can be made from software. It is still
possible, however, to put the printer off-line and change the pitch using the
T PIGS button.
QUALITY SETTING
The printer is capable of 3 print quality modes: Super Letter Quality (SLQ),
Letter Quality and Draft. Successive presses of the ‘YOOE: button will
alternate between these three settings(the SLQ mode is indicated by the top
indicator showing orange). Remember that the printer must be off-line for
you to do this. Holding down this button will cycle continuously between
these three options. However, not every typeface can be printed in every
mode (see the table below for details of what fonts are available in each
mode), and so the FONT indicator may change as you change the mode.
