Typestyles; Character Fonts - Epson 5000+ User Manual

Typestyles

You can produce a wide range of typestyles by combining
different character fonts, widths, and other enhancements. You
can select typestyles using the control panel or your software.

Character fonts

Your printer has 12 built-in character fonts.
The draft font uses fewer dots per character for fast printing.
This makes it ideal for rough drafts and editing work.
Nine letter-quality (LQ) fonts are also available. Letter-quality
fonts produce fully-formed characters for presentation-quality
documents.
To select the draft or LQ fonts, press the FONT button on the
printer's control panel until the light next to your desired font
comes on. The font remains selected until you select another.
With Epson's new ESC/P 2 printer control language, you can
also select scalable fonts.
In addition to scalable Roman and Sans Serif fonts, Roman T
and Sans Serif H fonts are available in scalable. Roman T is
similar to the Times™ font; Sans serif H is similar to
Helvetica™. They are available in scalable only, while the
Roman and Sans Serif fonts are available in LQ mode also. You
cannot select Roman T and Sans Serif H from the control panel.
Scalable fonts allow you to print in varying sizes when you are
using the appropriate software. The minimu size of each font is
8 points, and the maximum is 32 points. You can increase the
size of the font in 2-point increments. The sample below shows
characters of the following point sizes: 8, 12, 16, 20,24,28, and
32.
