Software The command for 12 cpi is ESC M, and the command for condensed is SI. Because most spreadsheets use the decimal equivalent for the commands, (also given in the Command Summary), a setup string for condensed 12 cpi might look like this: /027/077/015 The number 027 is for the escape code, 077 is for M, and 015 is for SI (condensed). The second method is SelecType, a feature described in Chapter 3. This feature allows you to choose print styles with buttons on the control panel. If your spreadsheet is not printing correctly, check both the LQ and your spreadsheet program and review this checklist: 0 If the program asks you to select a printer, be sure you have selected the correct one. q If you're using the program's print facility, recheck the LQ's Command Summary to make sure you're sending the correct commands. 0 If you're still having difficulty printing, check the troubleshooting section in your spreadsheet program's manual or Chapter 6 of this manual. Graphics programs The LQ is capable of producing finely detailed graphic images. A later section of this chapter gives specific information on the graphics commands, but the easiest way to take advantage of the LQ's capabilities is with one of the many graphics programs available. When buying graphics software, always make sure it has a suitable option to allow printouts on an LQ printer. Any program with an option for an LQ printer should give excellent results. Most graphics programs have a printer selection procedure. Check the lists on page 4-2 to find the proper selection. 4-7
