Printing
Problem Solution
Printed characters are
not what you expected
(continued).
The characters printed
are smaller than
expected.
The typestyle selected
by SelecType is not
printed.
Characters cannot be
defined using ESC &
and ESC :
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.
User-defined character mode may not be
selected. When defining characters, make
sure that DIP switch 2-5 is set to off.
