FEATURES OF THE PRINTER
This printer is a compact, convenient, monochrome printer without frills
but with a full complement of features, making it an excellent partner for
a personal computer. It supports the IBM/Epson printer commands and
character sets, enabling it to print just about anything your computer can
generate, both text and graphics. Some of its main features are the following:
l
Extensive software support
Since it is compatible with the Epson and IBM printers, it works with
any software that supports those printers. That includes most word-pro-
cessing and graphics programs, spreadsheets, and integrated software
packages.
l
Easy operation
Clearly understandable lamp displays and beep tones provide immediate
feedback when you press the switches on the control panel. The four switches
can operate in combinations to perform a surprising variety of functions,
including margin setting and micro-alignment.
l
Easy care and maintenance
The ribbon cartridge can be replaced in seconds; the print head in a few
minutes.
l
Versatile paper handling
Single sheets, fanfold forms, and multi-copy forms (up to triple-ply)
are all accepted, and you can use either tractor or friction feed. A special
feature enables you to keep fanfold forms parked in readiness while printing
on other paper.
l
High-resolution near-letter-quality printing
When you select an NLQ type style, the printer slows down and employs
a dense matrix of up to 18 by 23 dots to print clear, well-formed characters.
l
Large variety of type styles and sizes
. .
The printer has one draft style and four NLQ styles (Courier, Sanserif,
and Orator with small capitals or lower case), plus italics for all styles, plus
condensed print, bold print, double-sized print, quadruple-sized print - see
