Use High Speed Draft (HSD) or Utility (UTL) printing for drafts and other documents that you
want to print quickly. HSD is faster and its characters somewhat rougher than utility.
Near Letter Quality (NLQ) printing is slower than HSD and UTL, but the characters are crisper
and more like the characters produced by a typewriter. Use NLQ for final drafts and important
documents where appearance matters.
You can also use your printer’s front panel or the menu to set the print quality, but settings
made using the front panel are likely to be overridden by software applications.
To select the NLQ print mode in the Epson emulation, you must send two commands: ESC x 1
and ESC k n. The ESC x 1 command must be sent to the printer first, followed by the ESC k n
command. Parameter n designates which font will be used as follows:
n=0: Courier NLQ
n=1: Sans Serif NLQ
