= SUMMARY =

To print with a font other than draft, it is necessary to select and format document text from within Works.

The default font on the majority of printers is a 12 point (10 pitch) draft quality font (Pica or Courier). When Works initializes a printer, it sends the printer’s reset code before sending a print job. Therefore, if you have configured your printer directly (for example, for near letter quality) with any type of soft switch, Works will reset the printer to its draft mode before printing.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To configure your printer directly without being reset by Works, choose the TTY option in the Printers field of the Print Setup dialog box. TTY is a generic printer option that does not send any printer specific reset codes to the printer. This procedure will allow you to configure the printer directly.
