Table 11 Print modes

Notes: Feature available
Feature not available
Some features switch to an alternate mode while active. For example, if line graphics are to be printed, the printer
always prints them in a two-pass utility font at the selected pitch. Some enhanced or emphasized print formats are
not available in 15 to 24 cpi.
Rotated 180 print fully supports all print features. Rotated 90 and 270 prints in 5 x 7 font at 72 dpi are
equivalent to a 12-cpi HSD font. Rotated print supports 10 cpi and 12 cpi by controlling the line spacing.
