Selecting Typestyles; Character Fonts - Epson ActionPrinter 4000X 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 Summary in Chapter 9.
You can use the SelecType section of the control panel to choose
fonts 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
with software commands. 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

Your printer has ten built-in fonts: draft, Epson Roman, Epson Sans
Serif, Epson Courier, Epson Prestige, Epson Script, OCR-A, OCR-B,
Epson Orator, and Epson Orator-S. Eight of the fonts are selectable
from the SelecType feature of the front panel.
