SuperDraft
When DIP switch 16 is off, SuperDraft is selected. When the DIP
switch is on, normal draft is selected. SuperDraft prints at 300
characters per second but produces characters that are not as fully
formed as the ones produced with normal draft. If you select a
feature such as emphasized, double-strike, or condensed in
SuperDraft mode, the printing speed will temporarily switch to
normal draft speed until the enhancement is turned off. This allows
you to use any print enhancement without canceling SuperDraft.
