Character Fonts - Epson LX-810 User Manual

Selecting Typestyles
The settings you select using the SelecType panel remain valid
even if the printer is turned off.
Some application programs are designed to control all typestyle
functions. These programs cancel all previous typestyle settings by
sending certain software commands before printing. Because these
commands cancel 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 the
application manual on how to select typestyles.

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 (NLQ)
fonts. Near Letter Quality takes a little longer to print, but
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 the draft font is selected, the beeper
sounds once.
There are two printing speeds for draft font, high-speed draft and
normal draft. These printing speeds are controlled by DIP switch
1-5. See the section on setting the DIP switches in this chapter.
To select the NLQ font, press the NLQ (FORM FEED) button when
the printer is on line. When the NLQ Roman font is selected, the
beeper sounds two times. When the NLQ Sans Serif font is
selected, the beeper sounds three times.
