Selecting Typestyles; Character Fonts - Epson LQ-1050 User Manual

Selecting Typestyles

You can produce a wide range of typestyles by selecting different
character fonts, widths, and other enhancements from the SelecType
control panel or by using software commands. This section describes
only the features controlled by SelecType. To use software
commands, see the Command S ummary in Chapter 9.
You can use the SelecType section of the control panel to choose
fonts, character spacing, and condensed printing. Orange lights
indicate which features you have chosen.
Note: The settings you select using the SelecType panel remain
valid even after you turn off, reset, or initialize the printer.
However, commands from your application program temporarily
override the SelecType settings.
Some application programs are designed to control all typestyle
functions. These programs cancel all previous typestyle settings
by sending certain software commands before printing. Because
these commands override SelecType settings, you should use the
program's print options instead of SelecType to select your
typestyles. If SelecType does not work with a particular
application, check your software manual for instructions on

selecting typestyles.

Character Fonts

The printer has ten built-in fonts: draft, Epson Roman, Epson Sans
Serif, Epson Courier, Epson Prestige, Epson Script, OCR-B, OCR-A,
Epson Orator, and Epson Orator-S.
You can select eight of the built-in fonts using SelecType. When you
press the FONT button, the printer scrolls through the built-in fonts
on the control panel.
