Chapter 7 Emulation
7-22
Figure 7. 11. Epson LQ-850 Font Printout
The five LQ-850 fonts actually use the printing system’s resident fonts. The font mode in
the Epson emulation is 0. (The printing system does not automatically adjust character
spacing.) If you do not need exact character spacing, you can improve the appearance of
these fonts by changing to font mode 13. The printing system generates double-wide and
double-high effects for these emulating fonts.
To use other printing system fonts, select them with font commands (FONT, SFNT, and
FSET). Since the printing system emulates certain LQ-850 fonts in different spacings by
using the same resident font, it should be noted that substituting one font will also
change the other fonts emulated by that font. For example, if you change the Draft 15 cpi
font which is emulated by the PrestigeEliteBM7.2-Roman font, this will also affect the
other 15 cpi LQ-850 fonts using the same ALTF 7; setting.
