Table 2-1 shows the typestyles you can print with SelecType,

and-as you will learn later in this chapter-you can combine some
of them.

SelecType lets you use the Epson typestyles in Table 

2-1 and

combinations of those styles even if your word processing or business
program does not support all of them. SelecType also lets you make
print style choices when you print rather than when you edit. If you

would like a memo or letter to be in the NLQ mode, a few taps on

the panel buttons tell your printer what you want, and you don’t have
to re-edit the document to put in print codes.

SelecType is also handy for selecting narrow pitches to put more

characters on a line. If you find that your spreadsheet would be too

wide for a single page in pica, with SelecType you can choose com-

pressed to fit over 

130 characters on a line or compressed elite for

over 150 characters. In addition, you undoubtedly will have your
own uses for this feature.

Using SelecType is a simple four-step process:

1) Enter SelecType mode.

2) Select a print function.

3) Set the function.

4) Exit SelecType mode.

To turn on SelecType make sure that the printer is turned on (with

the POWER, READY, and ON LINE lights all on), and then press
the top two buttons on the panel (ON LINE and FF) at the same
time, as illustrated in Figure 

2-1. The LX-80 will beep to signal that it

is in SelecType mode. The READY light also turns off, and the ON

LINE light begins flashing. Now that your printer is in SelecType
