SelecType Features and Solutions

This section explains why SelecType does not work with some soft-

ware and how to cancel modes with SelecType.

Reset codes

Some software sends a reset code before it begins printing. This

cancels any SelecType settings. If you find that SelecType does not

change your printing, the reset code is probably the reason. The solu-

tion is to use the installation program for your software to remove all

codes from the initialization sequence. See your software manual for

details. If you can’t disable the reset code, you can use the DIP

switches to produce NLQ or compressed. See Appendix D for details.

AppleWorks’” and SelecType

The AppleWorks word processor resets the printer each time it

prints a document. This resetting cancels any SelecType setting you

have made. Therefore, you must use the AppleWorks printer options

instead of SelecType to choose typestyles.

The problem with using the printer options is that AppleWorks

does not have an option for Near Letter Quality (NLQ). If you want to

use NLQ with the AppleWorks word processor, you have two

choices:

Turn NLQ on and off with DIP switch l-2. (See Appendix D for

further information.)

Use the procedure described in the

AppleWorks Reference Manual

to configure the LX-90 as a custom printer so that you can use a

printer option to turn NLQ off and on. (This is explained below.)

For the second choice, see the appendix called “Preparing Apple-

Works for a Custom Printer” in the reference manual for the directions

to tell AppleWorks the codes the Apple IIc PIC uses. To prepare

AppleWorks to print in NLQ, first choose a feature that you do not

plan to use. Subscript is the feature used in the example below.
