Choosing Print Modes
The LX-80 printer’s many print modes give you a great choice of
width, weight, and style of characters. You can activate these modes
in several different ways, depending on your needs and the capabili-
ties of your software. The most common ways include placing print-
ing codes in your document, using a programming language such as
BASIC, and giving print commands as part of the printing instruc-
tions for your software.
Often the SelecType feature is the easiest way to choose print
modes on the LX-80. This feature changes the function of the three
buttons on top of your printer-ON LINE, FF, and LF. After turn-
ing on the SelecType mode, you can use the buttons to choose one or
more of six separate functions. The functions include five typestyles
and a reset code.
