Selecting Typestyles; Character Fonts - Epson LX-810 User Manual

Selecting Typestyles

You can produce a wide range of typestyles by combining different
character fonts, widths, and other enhancements. You can select
typestyles using the SelecType feature on your control panel, the
DIP switches, or software commands.

Character fonts

The printer has three fonts: draft, NLQ Roman, and NLQ Sans
Serif. The draft font uses fewer dots per character to allow high-
speed printing, which makes it ideal for rough drafts and editing
work.
NLQ Roman and NLQ Sans Serif are Near Letter Quality fonts.
Near Letter Quality produces nicely formed characters suitable for
most documentation needs.
To select the draft font, press the DRAFT (LINE FEED) button when
the printer is on line. When you select the draft font, the beeper
sounds once.
To select the NLQ font, press the NLQ (FORM FEED) button when
the printer is on line. When you select the NLQ Roman font, the
printer beeps two times. When you select the NLQ Sans Serif font,
the printer beeps three times.
