Troubleshooting
Solution
The wrong graphics character set is
selected. To set the desired graphics
character set, turn off the power and set
DIP switches l-l, l-2, and l-3 to the
correct positions for the graphics
character set you want. See Chapter 3.
You can check the current DIP switch
settings by running the self test.
The wrong pitch may be selected. Check
to see if the correct pitch is selected by the
PITCH button on the control panel.
The condensed mode may be set. 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. Use the application
program, not SelecType, to change
typestyles.
