Density /Display Key
Pressing the Display key displays the current density code. The Ready light must
be off and the display must be 0, C, D, or blank for this to occur.
Code Means that the print density is:
A 10 characters per inch at 6 lines per inch
B 15 characters per inch at 6 lines per inch
C 10 characters per inch at 8 lines per inch
D 15 characters per inch at 8 lines per inch

Pressing the Density key while pressing the 2nd Mode key advances the print
density to the next sequential code. The Ready light must be off and the display
must be 0, C, D, or blank for this to occur.
The printer operates at the print density set by the host or the operator. The
following chart shows when print density codes can be set:
