Using the Printer

Using the Control Panel

You can control simple printer operations—such as line feeding,

form feeding, loading and ejecting paper, and selecting fonts—

with the buttons on the control panel. The control panel lights

show the printer’s status. For information on the buttons and the

lights on the control panel, see “Control Panel Buttons and

Lights” inside the front cover.

Selecting a built-in font

Follow these steps to select a built-in font using the buttons on the

printer’s control panel:

1. Make sure that the printer is not printing. If it is, wait until

printing is complete.

2. Hold down the Pause button for three seconds to enter the

Micro Adjust mode. The Pause light begins to flash. The three

Tear Off (Font) lights show the current font selection.

3. Press the Tear Off (Font) button repeatedly to cycle through

all of the available selections; then stop when you reach the

desired font with a pattern shown on the control panel. Your

selection stays in effect until you change it again.

Note:

❏ Settings you make in your application programs usually

override settings you make from the printer’s control panel. For

best results, use your application to select a font and pitch.

❏ The Tear Off (Font) button cannot directly select OCR-B,

Orator, Orator-S, Script-C, Roman-T, or Sans Serif H. To

select one of these fonts, you must first use the Default Setting

mode to register it as the “other” font and then select Others

using the Tear Off (Font) button.

❏ Barcode fonts cannot be selected via the control panel.
