The printer is capable of printing the following fonts:
• DP: Data Processing; medium print resolution.
• NLQ: Near Letter Quality (correspondence); high print
resolution.
• HS: High Speed; low print resolution. Three speeds
are available: High Speed Draft A (HS), High
Speed Draft B (HSB), and High Speed Draft C
(HSC).
• OCR-A: Optical Character Recognition Font A; print
quality suitable for optical character readers.
• OCR-B: Optical Character Recognition Font B; print
quality suitable for optical character readers.
Pitch is the number of text characters printed per horizontal inch. It is
specified in characters per inch (cpi). Most of the fonts in the printer have
several pitch choices; the available choices are shown in Figure 3–6 on page
3–29.
As examples, selecting “HSC AT 12 CPI” sets up the printer to print at 12
characters per inch in the High Speed Draft C mode, while selecting “NLQ
AT 10 CPI” sets up the printer to print at 10 characters per inch in the Near
Letter Quality mode.
