Reset codes Some software sends a reset code before it begins printing. This cancels any SelecType settings. If you find that SelecType does not change your printing, the reset code is probably the reason. The solution is to use the installation program for your software to remove all codes from the initialization sequence. See your software manual for details. If you can't disable the reset code, you can use the DIP switches to produce NLQ or compressed. See Appendix D for details. Cancelling modes If you want to cancel the modes you have set with SelecType, you can turn your printer off and back on with the power switch on the right side of the printer. This cancels all SelecType settings, returns your LX-90 to its defaults, resets the top of page, and empties the contents of the buffer, including any user-defined characters that you have stored there. Occasionally you may wish to cancel one or more modes with SelecType instead of resetting the printer with power switch. To cancel all modes controlled by SelecType, simply enter SelecType mode and then press the FF button without pressing the ON LINE button. This is useful when you make a mistake while setting codes and want to start over again, and it does not interfere with top of page, user-defined characters, or other items that are not controlled by SelecType. If you do make a mistake while using SelecType, just press the LF button to turn off SelecType and then turn it on again and press the FF button before you press the ON LINE button. In fact, some users like to use the FF button to cancel any previous SelecType setting each time they use SelecType. If you want to be absolutely certain that no previous settings interfere with your use of SelecType, always press the FF button once immediately after you enter SelecType mode. For this procedure, after you press the ON LINE and FF buttons to turn on SelecType, press the FF button once, and then make and set your selection or selections as outlined in Chapter 2. You can also cancel individual modes with SelecType if you wish. You do this with the same procedure that sets them. When a mode is already set, selecting it again cancels it, as demonstrated in the example below. E-2

Cancelling modes
If you want to cancel the modes you have set with SelecType, you

right side of the printer. This cancels all SelecType settings, returns
your LX-90 to its defaults, resets the top of page, and empties the

Occasionally you may wish to cancel one or more modes with
SelecType instead of resetting the printer with power switch. To cancel
all modes controlled by SelecType, simply enter SelecType mode and
then press the FF button without pressing the ON LINE button. This is
useful when you make a mistake while setting codes and want to start

acters, or other items that are not controlled by SelecType.
If you do make a mistake while using SelecType, just press the LF
button to turn off SelecType and then turn it on again and press the FF
button before you press the ON LINE button.
In fact, some users like to use the FF button to cancel any previous
SelecType setting each time they use SelecType. If you want to be
absolutely certain that no previous settings interfere with your use of
SelecType, always press the FF button once immediately after you
