Font function (FONT)
With the Font function, you can change the font
of the text to one of the many that are available.
For samples of the available Font settings, refer
to page 99. The font of the text at the cursor’s
current position is shown at the bottom of the
display.
To change the setting for the Font function:
1 Hold down
d
and press
1
,
2
or
3
.
2 Press
j
or
k
until FONT is displayed.
The setting for the text at the cursor’s cur-
rent position is shown on the left side of the
display and a sample can be seen on the
right side.

or

until the desired setting is
displayed.

Size function (SIZE)
The character size can be adjusted using the
Size function. With the
AUTO setting, the
machine compares your text with the width of
the installed tape and automatically adjusts the
characters to the largest possible size. For sam-
ples of the available Size settings, refer to
page 100. The size of the text at the cursor’s cur-
rent position is shown in the lower-right corner
of the display and with the indicator on the right
side of the display.
NOTE
Letter Gothic ( L. GOTHIC ) is a fixed pitch font (all
characters use a fixed amount of space), as opposed
to all of the other fonts, which are proportional
(characters use different amounts of space).
NOTE
This step may be skipped if settings for several for-
mat functions are being applied at the same time.
