Now that you have created a sample, follow these steps to print it in
double-width mode:
1. See that both the ON LINE and READY lights are on.
2. Press the OFF LINE and FORM FEED buttons at the same time,
then release them. You hear a beep to signal that SelecType is on.
3.
As shown in Table
3-1,
the code for double-width is two. There-
fore, press the OFF LINE button two times. (Remember to make
sure you hear a beep each time you press the OFF LINE button
when you are in SelecType mode.)
4.
Now that you
have
selected the double-width mode, push the
FORM FEED button once to set it.
5. Push the LINE FEED button once to return
the
panel to its standard
operation.
6. Press the OFF LINE button so
the
FX-286
is ready to print.
Now you have set the FX-286 to print in double-width mode. Print
your sample once more. It should appear in double-width mode just
as you see below:

Turn off your printer to cancel the double-width setting, and-if
you wish-try this exercise with other modes.
