Selecting Different Fonts; In Ms-Dos; Changing The Character Pitch - Star Micronics LC24-30 Colour User Manual

Selecting different fonts
If you are running applications software under
Windows, you will select fonts from within your applica-
tion (refer to your application's manual for details).
Your applications software manual will tell you the vari-
ous ways in which you can type-set your text on-screen
so that it is ready to print out on the printer.
Your Windows system already includes several fonts,
such as Arial, Times New Roman and Symbol. You can
also use the 15 TrueType fonts included with the
printer. If you have installed Adobe Type Manager soft-
ware on your computer, you can also display and print
Adobe PostScript fonts.
In MS-DOS
Selecting different fonts
If you are running applications software under MS-DOS,
you can either use the printer's control panel to select
the printer's built-in fonts, as described on page 30 of
Chapter 3, or use your application to select fonts
installed on your computer (refer to your application's
manual for details). You can also set up the printer to
ignore font selections made by your applications soft-
ware, so that font selections can only be made from the
control panel. This is described on page 54.
Changing the character pitch
Changing the font pitch allows you to condense text into
a smaller area. It also enables you to vary the appear-
ance of text in a single font.
The character pitch of printed text is determined by the
current Electronic DIP Switch print pitch setting (see
page 43).
There are four pitch settings available: 10, 12, 15 and
17 characters per inch.
