# Selecting a Built-In Font and Pitch

Your printer comes with the twelve built-in fonts. See Printer Specifications for information of fonts you can select. You can also choose from the following six pitch (character size) settings: 10, 12, 15, 17, or 20 cpi (characters per inch), or proportional spacing. You can select the font and pitch using the buttons on the printer’s control panel as described below.
Note:

Settings you make in your application programs usually override settings you make from the printer’s control panel. For best results, use your application to select a font and pitch.

Follow these steps to select a built-in font or pitch using the buttons on the printer’s control panel:

| Make sure that the printer is not printing.

| To select a font, press the Font button until the two Font lights indicate the font you want as shown below.

Font lights | Font
| High Speed Draft
| Draft
| Roman
| Sans Serif
| Courier
| Prestige
| Script
| Others

= On, = Flashing, = Off
* others means the font selected in the default-setting mode
Note:

The Font button cannot directly select OCR-B, Orator, Orator-S, Script-C, Roman-T, or Sans Serif H. To select one of these fonts, you must first use the default-setting mode to register it as the “other” font. Note that the default “other” setting is Roman-T.

To select a pitch, press the Pitch button until the three Pitch lights indicate the pitch you want as shown below.

Pitch lights | Pitch
| 10 cpi
| 12 cpi
| 15 cpi
| 17 cpi
| 20 cpi
| PS (proportional spacing)

= On, = Off
