Now, run the program by typing RUN and pressing RETURN, or
print your file or document by following the printing instructions of
your software. The LX-86 will print your example in standard single-
strike printing, as shown below:
T h i s i s a n e x a m p l e
o f L X p r i n t i n g .
Now that you have created a sample, follow these steps to print it
in condensed mode:
1.
See that both the ON LINE and READY lights are on.
2. Press the OFF LINE and FORM FEED buttons at the same time,
then release them. You hear a beep to signal that SelecType is on.
3. As shown in Table 2-1, the code for condensed is three. Therefore,
press the OFF LINE button three times. (Remember to make sure
you hear a beep each time you press the OFF LINE button when
you are in SelecType mode.)
4. Now that you have selected the condensed mode, push the
FORM FEED button once to set it.
5. Push the LINE FEED button once to return the panel to its stand-
ard operation.
6. Press the OFF LINE button so the IX-86 is ready to print.
Now you have set the LX-86 to print in condensed mode. Print
your sample once more. It should appear in condensed mode just as
you see below:
This is an example
of LX printing.
Turn off your printer to cancel the condensed setting, and-
if you wish-try this exercise with other modes.
Note: Some applications programs are designed to control all
typestyle functions. These programs cancel all previous
typestyle settings by sending an initialization signal before
printing. Because this signal cancels SelecType settings, you
will have to use the program's print options function
instead of SelecType to select your typestyles. Therefore, if
SelecType does not work with a particular applications
program, consult its manual on how to select typestyles.
