Enhancing Your Printing
You can obtain a wide variety of printing effects with your printer,
from changing the number of characters per inch to using special ^
effects on selected words and phrases. This section gives you a
sampling of the features you may select with your software. ^
For software control of these features, see the instructions for your ^
applications program or look up their specific commands in ^
Chapter 9.
Print quality and fonts ^
The most apparent change you can make to print quality is to
change fonts.
Your printer has three levels of print quality: high-speed draft,
normal draft and NLQ (Near Letter Quality). High-speed draft
printing is ideal for rough drafts and large documents that you
need to print quickly. Normal draft printing is a bit slower, but
offers higher resolution characters. NLQ printing takes a little
longer, but produces darker, more fully-formed characters suitable ^
for presentation-quality documents. For NLQ printing, the printer
offers two fonts: Roman and Sans Serif.
The printout below shows the difference between high-speed draft, '***
normal draft, NLQ Roman, and NLQ Sans Serif characters so you ^
can compare the different styles and densities.
High-speed draft is even faster..
Draft printing is fast.
NLQ Roman is clear and typewriter-like.
NLQ Sans Serif is crisp and distinctive. ^
