Selecting Typestyles
The DRAFT mode uses fewer dots per character for high-speed printing,
which makes it ideal for rough drafts and editing work.
ROMAN
and
SANS SERIF
are Letter Quality (LQ) fonts. Letter Quality
takes a little longer to print, but produces nicely formed characters
suitable for most documentation requirements.
Other fonts are available on optional font cartridges. See Multi-Font
Module in Chapter 5.
Condensed Mode
You can use the condensed mode to change the size of printed
characters. In the condensed mode, characters are approximately 60
percent of the width of normal characters. Hence, condensed printing is
very useful for spreadsheets and other applications where you need to
print the maximum amount of information on a page. You can combine
the condensed mode with 10 and 12 cpi printing, but not 15 cpi.
To select the condensed mode, simply press the CONDENSED button so
that the orange indicator light comes on. To turn off the condensed
mode, press the button again.
The following printout compares normal 10 and 12 cpi with condensed
10 and 12 cpi. The condensed 10 cpi is 17 cpi, and the condensed 12 cpi
is 20 cpi.
This is 10 CPI printing.
