Solution
The condensed mode may be set. Check
printed
to see if the CONDENSED light on the
control panel is on. If it is lit, press the
CONDENSED button to cancel the mode.
Also, if your application program is
capable of sending control codes, you
can cancel the condensed mode by
sending the DC2 code to the printer. See
Chapter 9.
The software may not be properly
installed for your printer. Use the
program's setup (or install) procedure to
check the printer settings and reset as
needed.
Your software may be overriding your
SelecType setting. If your program allows
you to change the printing style, software
control will override the SelecType
settings. For these application programs
use the program, not SelecType, to
change typestyles.
User-defined character mode may not be
selected. When defining characters, make
sure that DIP switch 2-5 is set to off.
