Changing Printer Settings From the Printer’s Control Panel      

5-9

International character set for Italic table

You can select among several international character sets for the 
Italic character table. Each character set contains eight characters 
that vary depending on the country or language, so you can 
customize the Italic table to suit your printing needs. See 
Appendix C for character samples.

Font

You can select six fonts in default-setting mode. The following 
fonts are indicated on the control panel and can’t be selected by 
default settings: Draft, Roman, Sans Serif, Courier, Prestige, and 
Script.

Manual feed wait time

This sets the amount of wait time between when paper is inserted 
into the paper guide and it is fed. If the paper feeds before you 
can adjust its position to your satisfaction, you can increase the 
wait time.

Buzzer (beeper)

The printer beeps when an error occurs. (See “Using the Error 
Indicators” on page 7-2 for more information on printer errors.) 
If you do not want the printer to beep when an error occurs, turn 
this setting off.

Roll paper

When you turn on this mode, the printer recognizes that single 
sheets are not loaded in the printer, so it does not try to eject the 
paper and advance it forward to the next page when you press 
the 

LF/FF

 button.
