The Control mode you select depends on the printer driver you were able
to select in your applications.

If you were able to select a Canon Bubble Jet printer or the IBM
Proprinter X24E through your application program, you will want to
use the printer in BJ mode.

If you were able to select an Epson LQ printer through your application
program, you will want to use the printer in Epson LQ mode.

You can also select a Control mode based on specific text features you want
to use in your document. The following table lists the typefaces and pitches
