Changing Group 3 default settings
Group 3 default settings differ from
1
and 2. You determine
the setting by the number of beeps you hear instead of
checking the panel lights. Also, the printer does not print a
list of Group 3 default settings. To change Group 3 default
settings follow the steps below.
1.
Make sure the printer is turned off.
2.
Hold down the
PAUSE
and
PAPER FEED
buttons while you
turn on the printer. You then enter the Group 3
defaultsetting
mode.
3.
Press the
FONT, PAUSE,
or
PAPER FEED
button if you want to
change the current setting. The printer beeps once or twice
to indicate your setting.

you cannot change it again
without

After you make your changes, wait until the

comes on. This shows that the printer has automatically
exited the setting mode and you can begin printing.
Character Fonts
Your printer has two draft fonts (normal and high-speed) and
two Near Letter Quality (NLQ) fonts (Epson Roman and
Epson
!%ns
Serif). You can select these through application
software and the control panel.
Use the default-setting mode (explained earlier) to choose
between normal and high-speed draft.
From the control panel you can select normal or condensed
versions of all the fonts. Condensed characters are 60 percent
as wide as normal characters.
Use
the
FONT
button and the
FONT
and
CONDENSED
lights to
select the font you want. Each time you press the
FONT
button, the selection changes and the
FONT
and
CONDENSED
lights come on, go off,

Note: The settings you selectfrom
the
control panel remain in

even
after
you turn offthe printer.
because some application programs control character fonts
and because program commands often override panel
settings, use your application program’s print options instead
of the control panel to select character fonts if possible.
Here are sample characters for each font.
