Print Mode Selection
3 -4
Your
printer has
three
print modes:
Draft,
Quality,
and
Enhanced.
You can control
print
speed,
print
quality,
and
ribbon
usage by the
print mode you select.
The Draft mode is a
high-speed
(160 cps
burst
speed at 10 pitch) form
of printing which is recommended
for
internal correspondence and
draft
documents.
The Draft
mode uses
less ribbon than
the
Quality
mode.
In
the Quality mode, your printer prints a line of characters at
a burst
speed
of 100 characters
per
second
(cps)
when
a 10-pitch
font is
used. The Quality
mode
is recommended for printing letters and
most other documents.
In the Enhanced
mode,
you will get the highest quality of
print
at a
burst speed of 80 cps (for 10 pitch).
It
is recommended
t
hat
the
Enhanced mode be used when
necessary
to print
letter-quality
docu-
ments
on
rough
papers.
The Enhanced
mode uses more ribbon
than
the
Quality mode. Therefore, the Enhanced mode should
be
used
only
w
hen
necessary.
Your printer was shipped
from
the factory with print mode in the
Quality
setting.
You may
find
that you use the
Draft
or
Enhanced
mode more often than
Quality
mode.
If
so, you can change your
printer's switch settings so that when you turn the printer on
,
it will be
in one
of the other print modes. To change the settings, see
"
Switches 5 and
6,
Print
Mode"
on page 4-11.
You can also select a print mode without changing the
setup
switches.
You do this by using
the
printer control buttons on the
printer front panel.
