Selecting the Optional Fonts
After you have installed the optional font cartridge/card, you can select
optional fonts by any of the following methods:
1. Through your application software
2. With a font selection command
3. With the FONT switch
When you select fonts through your application software, follow the
instructions specific to your software. Refer to your software manual if you
need assistance. When you select fonts with a font selection command,
embed the font selection command in your program. See the Technical
Reference Manual, which is optionally available for this printer.
✒ Notes
When you select the fonts through your software or with a command, note
the following:
•
You do not need to be concerned about the FONT switch setting. The
software or command setting overrides the switch setting.
•
Be sure to install the font cartridge/card that has your desired fonts. The
printer automatically selects the font that has exactly the same or similar
characteristics as those you set through the software or with a command.
If the installed font cartridge/card happens to have a font of similar
characteristics, the printer will print in an unexpected font.
To select fonts with the FONT switch, follow these basic steps:
1. Print out the list of optional fonts in the PRINT FONTS C mode with
the SHIFT and TEST switches.
See “Printing the Test Pattern or Font List” in Chapter 2.
