Problem Solution
Printed characters
are not what you
expected
(continued).
The wrong graphics
characters are printed.
The characters printed
are smaller than
expected.
The typestyle selected
by SelecType is not
printed.
The wrong graphics character set is
selected. To set the desired graphics
character set, turn off the power and set
DIP switches l-l, l-2 and l-3 to the
correct positions for the graphics
character set you want. See Chapter 3.
The condensed mode may be set. Check
to see if the CONDENSED light on the
control panel is on. If it is lit, press the
CONDENSED button to cancel the mode.
Also, if your application program is
capable of sending control codes, you
can cancel the condensed mode by
sending the DC2 code to the printer. See
Chapter 9.
The software may not be properly installed
for your printer. Use the program’s setup
(or install) procedure to check the printer
settings and reset as needed.
Your software may be overriding your
SelecType setting. If your program allows
you to change the printing style, software
control will override the SelecType
settings. For these application programs
use the program, not SelecType, to
change typestyles.
