W BOLD ON/OFF
The application software is provided for the dot printer, which reprints the character
onto the same position to make the bold font. On the other hand, the laser printer
detects the reprinted character and converts it to the bold font. After the HL-8V
model, however, the function has caused that print speed gets slow in the FX and XL
emulations. Therefore the setting is added, which selects to implement the function
or to print fast without using the function.
W BOLD = OFF *
W BOLD = ON
DLFNT Bd / It
Brother has an original function such that the printer creates the bold font when
receiving the command of the bold font which the printer does not have. If the
download font is selected by ID, however, the bold font which has been specified
before can remain in the printer so that the download font is printed in bold.
Though the function was deleted from the printer for the mean time, it also caused
the claims. Therefore the setting which deletes the function is added.
DLFNT Bd / It = YES Creates the bold or italic font from the download font.
DLFNT Bd / It = NO * Not creates the bold or italic font from the download font.
B PROD ON/OFF
B PROD = ON*
B PROD = OFF
CONDENCE SELECT
The condensed font is printed at 16.66cpi in the dot printer emulation for the Brother
laser printers in conjunction with that the 16.66cpi font is used. However, some
customers need the same pitch with the one of the dot printer, and many customers
still use the printer at 16.66cpi on the other hand. Therefore the setting which selects
the pitch of the condensed font is added.
CONDENCE = 16.66p *
Sets the pitch of the Epson/IBM condensed character 16.66cpi.
CONDENCE = 17.14p
Sets the pitch the Epson/IBM condensed character 17.14cpi.
