The printer gives you two different print qualities: In data proces-
sing quality (UTL) a print speed of 260 characters per second (cps)
at 10 cpi is reached, printing being bidirectional, i.e. one line from
left to right, the next line from right to left, etc. This quality is suita-
ble in particular for extensive lists and drafts.
Letter-quality (LQ), which reaches a speed of 87 cps at 10 cpi,
should be used to create correspondence or documents. With this
print quality the characters are printed in a high dot pattern resolu-
tion. This enables the creation of attractive documents when using a
word processor.
These print qualities can be selected via the menu item Print Mode
or the control panel.

When using double height, characters are extended to double their
normal height. This function can be combined with double width
and emphasized into a variety of print attributes. When using dou-
ble height, you should increase the line spacing accordingly.
