Selecting the Pitch
The Pitch button on the operator panel allows you to select different horizontal pitches according
to the selected protocol. See "C C C u u u s s s t t t o o o m m m i i i z z z i i i n n n g g g M M M a a a c c c r r r o o o s s s " for the pitch values.
You can also select the Soft . (Software Control) Value. Software Control means that the pitch
that is used by the printer is defined through the commands of your software application. This
message blinks alternately with the Pitch that will be used if the printer receives no software
commands.
To select a pitch:
1. Press the Pitch button
2. Within 3 seconds press the Pitch button, until the desired pitch is displayed (keeping the
button depressed displays the different pitches continuously).
Three seconds after releasing the button, the display shows the basic screen again and the
pitch is set.
If a pitch is selected using the Pitch button, it is locked and cannot be changed by software
commands. The basic screen then shows the Lock symbol.
The pitch selection made using the Pitch button is canceled as soon as you power-off the printer.
To return to Software Control, press the Pitch button, until Soft. is displayed.
