Typestyles You can produce a wide range of typestyles by selecting different character fonts, widths, and other enhancements from the control panel. The font names on the control panel are meant as guides only; your actual printed results may differ slightly in appearance. Note: The settings you select from the control panel remain valid even after you turn off the printer. Some application programs control all typestyle functions. Because program commands often override panel settings, you should use your application program's print options instead of the control panel to select typestyles. If your panel setting does not work, check your software user's manual for instructions on selecting typestyles. Character fonts The printer has ten built-in fonts: draft, Courier, Roman, Sans Serif, Prestige, Script, Script-C, Orator, Orator-S, and OCR-B. To select a font, press the FONT button until the green indicator light of your desired font comes on. Note that font selection skips over SLOT unless an optional font module is installed in that slot. The Roman and Sans Serif fonts are scalable. The minimum size of each font is 8 points and the maximum size is 32 points. You can use your application program (if it supports the LQ-870/1170) to increase the size of the font in two-point increments, as shown in the following sample: Using the Printer 3-19
