Economy
On when economy printing mode is selected. In
economy mode the printer uses less ink by printing
fewer dots per character. Note that black may print
as gray. Use this mode for rough drafts of text only.
Condensed
On when condensed mode is selected. In this mode,
the printer prints selected fonts at 60% of their width
so that more characters can fit on a page.
Font
Indicates which font is selected. Use the Default
Setting mode to select fonts other than those
displayed on the control panel. Both lights flash
when the printer is in micro adjust mode.
