When using reduction mode, you must select the correct paper size within your application. In the example above, you would specify a paper size of 15 x 11 inches in your application. Be sure to account for your margins. Selecting the Reduction Mode We recommend that you use reduction mode with MS-DOS applications only (not Windows applications). Windows applications have a fit-topage feature that is not compatible with reduction mode. Before using reduction mode, make sure you set DIP switch 2 to ON to enable the text scale mode. To select the reduction mode, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the printer is on-line. 2. Press and hold the LF/FF button. 3. Press the PRINT MODE button. The printer beeps twice and the indicator for the current print mode blinks to indicate the printer is in 2/3 reduction mode. To set the printer in 1/2 reduction mode, press and hold the LF/FF button and press the PRINT MODE button again. The printer beeps three times. 4. Load paper and begin your print operation. NOTE: This mode may be overridden by your software. To disable reduction mode, press and hold the LF/FF button and press the PRINT MODE button (a third time). The printer beeps once. When the indicator for the current print mode (either HQ or HS) is on and not blinking, reduction mode is cancelled. You can also turn off the printer. NOTE: Selecting reduction mode cancels envelope mode (if set), and selecting envelope mode cancels reduction mode (if set). Printing the Test Prints The printer includes three test prints: the self test, the font list, and the demo print. Use these test prints to check the operation of the printer.
