Master Select combinations
At the beginning of this chapter we introduced you to four print
modes. Figure 5-3 illustrates the 11 different ways these can be com-

If you add the default Pica Mode, there are 12 different combina-
tions. Four of these
12
combinations (the ones that don’t involve
Super- or Subscript) can be combined with any of the
16
Master Select
modes. Four times
16
gives you 64 combinations. The other eight
combinations that involve Super- and Subscript Modes can be com-
bined with the eight Single-Strike Master Select modes. Eight times
eight gives another
64
combinations. Add these to the first

or more of the dress-up modes, the simplest method is to choose a
