SETTING THE CHARACTER PITCH

You can set the printer's character pitch on the control panel. This method is 
referred to as the front panel method. Once you set the pitch by the front 
panel method, any pitch setting control code sent from the computer has no 
effect on the printing. To change pitch selection from the computer or your 
application software, use the default CODE setting of pitch. To restore the 
pitch to the default CODE, turn power off and then back on again.

1. Be sure the ON/OFF LINE indicator is lit.

2. Press and hold the SELECT (ON/OFF LINE) button until the ON/OFF LINE
   indicator blinks.

3. Press the ---> (LINE FEED) or <--- (FORM FEED) button to move the print
   head to the position indicated on the printer cover you wish to set as a
   character pitch.

4. Press the SET (NLQ) button to set the character pitch.

When you select the default CODE, you can change the character pitch by 
sending control codes from the computer.

SETTING THE MARGINS

You can set the printer's left and right margins from the front panel. 
After setting margins in this mode, you can change the margins through the
software as described in the "Left and Right Margin" section of the DMP
133 Dot Matrix Technical Reference Manual. The setting of character pitch 
is not changed by the manual margin setting function.

1. Be sure the ON/OFF LINE indicator is ON.

2. Press and hold the SELECT (ON/OFF LINE) button until the ON/OFF LINE 
   indicator blinks.

3. Press the ---> (LINE FEED) button to move the print head to the MARGIN 
   position indicated on the printer cover.

4. Press the SET (NLQ) button to enter the margin-set mode: the print head 
   moves to the current left margin position.

5. Press the ---> (LINE FEED) or <--- (FORM FEED) button to move the print 
   head to the position you wish to set as a left margin.

6. Press SET (NLQ) button to set the left margin: the print head moves to
   the current right margin position.

7. Press the ---> (LINE FEED) or <--- (FORM FEED) button to move the print
   to a desired right margin position.

8. Press the SET (NLQ) button to set the margin.

NOTE: If the left margin is set beyond the current right margin position or
if the space between the margins is less than 2 Pica characters, a beep 
sounds three times. Move the print head to a valid position.
