Epson 1170 - Manual (Page 75)

Typestyles
You can produce a wide range of typestyles by selecting different
character fonts, widths, and other enhancements from the control
panel.
The font names on the control panel are meant as guides only;
your actual printed results may differ slightly in appearance.
Note: The settings you select from the control panel remain
valid even after you turn off the printer.
Some application programs control all typestyle functions. Because
program commands often override panel settings, you should use
your application program’s print options instead of the control
panel to select typestyles. If your panel setting does not work,
check your software user’s manual for instructions on selecting
typestyles.
Character fonts
The printer has ten built-in fonts: draft, Courier, Roman, Sans
Serif, Prestige, Script, Script-C, Orator, Orator-S, and OCR-B. To
select a font, press the FONT button until the green indicator light
of your desired font comes on. Note that font selection skips over
SLOT
unless an optional font module is installed in that slot.
The Roman and Sans Serif fonts are scalable. The minimum size of
each
font is 8 points and the maximum size is 32 points. You can
use your application program (if it supports the LQ-870/1170) to
increase the size of the font in two-point increments, as shown in
the
following sample:
