Selecting Typestyles
You can produce a wide range of
typestyles
by combining different
character fonts, widths, and other enhancements. You can select
typestyles
using the DIP switches or software commands. For
information on the available features, see the section on enhancing
your printing in Chapter
4.
Character fonts
The
DFX-8000’s
draft font produces lower-resolution characters with
fewer dots per character for high-speed printing. It is ideal for
rough drafts and editing work. To select the draft font, turn off DIP
switch
1-5. The
DFX-8000
can print the draft font at two speeds.
The draft font printing speed is high when DIP switch
2-2 is off and
normal when the. switch is on.
NLQ
mode produces high quality text characters at a slower
printing speed. The
DFX-8000
offers two
NLQ
fonts, Roman and
Sans
Serif. To select
NLQ
mode, turn on DIP switch
1-5
In Epson
ESC/P mode (which is selected
when
DIP switch
1-4
is off), Roman
is the default font selected when DIP switch
l-5
is on. You can
select
Sans
Serif with the software command
ESC
k. (In
IBM
emulation mode,
Sans
Serif is the default font selected when DIP
switch
1-5
is on.)
The following samples show the characters for each font.
