You can select typestyles using the DIP switches or software commands. For information on the available features, see the section on enhancing your printing in Chapter 4. Character fonts The DFX-8000's draft font produces lower-resolution characters with fewer dots per character for high-speed printing. It is ideal for rough drafts and editing work. To select the draft font, turn off DIP switch 1-5. The DFX-8000 can print the draft font at two speeds. The draft font printing speed is high when DIP switch 2-2 is off and normal when the. switch is on. NLQ mode produces high quality text characters at a slower printing speed.

You can select Sans Serif with the software command ESC k. (In IBM emulation mode, Sans Serif is the default font selected when DIP switch 1-5 is on.)
