Problem Printed characters are not what you expected (continued). The wrong graphics characters are printed. The characters printed are smaller than expected. The typestyle selected by SeIecType is not printed. Solution The wrong graphics character set is selected. To set the desired graphics character set, turn off the power and set DIP switches l-l, l-2, and l-3 to the correct positions for the graphics character set you want. See Chapter 3. You can check the current DIP switch settings by running the self test. The wrong pitch may be selected. Check to see if the correct pitch is selected by the PITCH button on the control panel. The condensed mode may be set. If your application program is capable of sending control codes, you can cancel the condensed mode by sending the DC2 code to the printer. See Chapter 9. The software may not be properly installed for your printer. Use the program's setup (or install) procedure to check the printer settings and reset as needed. Your software may be overriding your SelecType setting. Use the application program, not SelecType, to change typestyles. 7-10 Troubleshooting
