= SUMMARY =

Italic lettering is a separate font on the IBM Proprinter III printer. After the italic formatted text is printed, the reset code that is sent returns the text to the currently used font and resets some of the printer’s fonts to the default font.

Therefore, it is not possible to print italic with the following fonts:


 * PS
 * PSNLQ
 * NLQDblHigh

The following fonts allow Word to print italic characters:


 * NLQ
 * PICA
