Using Text Appearance Parameters
The next section on the Setup menu is text appearance. The text appear-
ance parameters let you change the way text prints on the page.
Set Print Quality
QUAL lets you specify a quality for printing text. You can select Letter
for letter-quality text; Memo for memo-quality text; or Draft for draft-
quality text. The quality that you select affects the print speed. Letter-
quality produces the best quality text, but prints the slowest. Conversely,
draft-quality prints the fastest, but produces lower quality text.
Set Font
FNT lets you select a font (type style). The fonts you can choose from
depend on those in the installed Intelli-card. On standard printers you can
select from the following fonts: Courier, Gothic, TmsRomn and Elite.
When you select a font, the PITCH and CELL settings change to the de-
faults for the selected font. These defaults ensure that the font is spaced
correctly when printed.
Set Pitch
PITCH lets you specify how many characters to print per inch. You can
select 10, 12, 13.3, 15, 17.1, 20 or PS (proportional spacing). The PS
setting only applies if the current font is a PS font. If you select PS and
the current font is a fixed-pitch font, the printer uses the default pitch of
the font. If the current setting is Other, then your software application
has set the pitch to some nonstandard value.
When you select a pitch, the CELL setting also changes to your pitch
selection to ensure that the font expands or compresses to fit the pitch.
