Multi-Font User's Manual

Installation menu
In this menu, you can select the following sub-menus.
. Command menu (which commands the printer accepts)
l Font menu (which font to print)
l Character menu (which character set to print)
l Print menu (which style to print)
. Paper menu (what paper the printer will use)
l Forms menu (how pages will be formatted)
Command menu
This menu allows you to set up various parameters controlling the overall
setup of the printer.
l Emulation
Select the mode compatible with your computer and software. In Standard
mode, [*STANDARD], the printer operates like the Epson EX-8OO/EX-
1000. In IBM mode, [IBM], it operates like the IBM Proprinter III.
l RAM usage
In order to download characters this switch must be set [DOWNLOAD
BUFFER]. The printer then uses its RAM memory for storing character
patterns and provides only a one-line print buffer.
If you leave this switch to [*INPUT BUFFER], the printer uses its RAM
memory as an input buffer, allowing the computer to send data faster than
the printer prints.
If you want the print buffer only one line, set to [ 1 LINE BUFFER].
l Quiet mode
You can select the Quiet mode as the power-on default by setting this
switch to [ENABLED].
When in Quiet mode, the printer will print slightly slower, but at a reduced
noise level.
l Graphics direction
When printing in dot graphics mode, the printer may either print bi-
directionally (in alternate directions), [*BI-DIRECTIONAL], for speed or in
one direction only (uni-directional for increased accuracy), [UNI-DIREC-
TIONAL].
For practically all purposes, however, bi-directional printing is sufficiently
accurate.
