Is the Font or Pitch selected from the operator
panel not printing or is it changing?

Set Font Lock or Pitch Lock On to keep your
software application from overriding the font
and pitch settings. For more information, see
“Selecting or locking a font” on page 31.

If you need to use a nonresident font, change
the font within your software application.

Note: If you are using Windows programs, most

fonts are bitmapped (graphics) and
override the printer Font or Pitch Lock.
Select a resident font to override from the
operator panel.

a

Turn the printer Off.

b

Disconnect the printer cable from the back
of the printer.

Run the Printer Test. For more information,
see “Testing the printer” on pag e116.

If the Printer Test runs, then the problem is
in the printer cable or your computer.

For more information, refer to your
computer’s operator manual.
