Selecting Typestyles

You can produce a wide range of typestyles by combining different

character fonts, widths, and other enhancements. You can select

typestyles using the SelecType feature on your control panel, the

DIP switches, or software commands.

Your printer has eight built-in character fonts. To select a font using

SelecType, follow these steps:

1. Be sure the printer is turned on and the 

light is lit.

Check to see that the printer is not receiving data (the 

light should not be flickering).

Press the 

button until the two 

lights match

the desired font, as shown below.

The tractor cover label and the SelecType sticker list the state of the

two orange indicator lights for each font. You can put the

SelecType sticker on either the printer cover or the front cover

provided with the optional cut-sheet feeder.
The font selected by SelecType remains effective until another font

is selected by a software command or until the printer is turned off,

reset, or initialized. Epson Courier is the default.
