Letter Quality and Draft
Your LQ is set at the factory to print in the Letter Quality mode
unless you turn on the draft mode with the DRAFT button on the
control panel or with a DIP switch (described in Appendix A). There-
fore, the printouts in this manual are shown in Letter Quality. If you
want to see how a feature looks in the draft mode, press the DRAFT
button before you run the program. Here’s a comparison of Letter
Quality and Draft modes in pica width.

Cancelling Modes
With only a few exceptions, the LQ printing modes stay
on
until
they are turned off. In fact, the modes can stay on even if you change
from one type of software to another. For example, if you run a
BASIC program that turns on elite and then use a word processing
program to print a document, the LQ prints that document in the elite
mode.
There are two methods to turn off a printing mode when you no
longer need it.
l
With a specific cancelling code. Each mode has a cancelling code,
which you can find in the discussion of the mode and also in Ap-
pendix I.
l
By resetting the printer, a method explained in the next section.
Resetting the Printer
Resetting your LQ cancels all modes that are turned on. You can
reset the printer with one of two methods:
l
Sending the reset code (Escape “@”)
l
Turning the printer off and then on.
