= SUMMARY =

The Star Micronics XB-2410 and XB-2415 printers can print in super letter quality (SLQ) mode with the internal TW-Light and TmsRoman fonts. SLQ mode is different from letter quality (LQ) mode in that it uses two 24-pin passes instead of just one.

Text can be formatted for SLQ by choosing one of the SLQ fonts, SLQTW-Light or SLQTmsRoman.

SLQ text may revert back to LQ text after bolded text is printed on the Star XB-2410 or XB-2415. This problem occurs depending on the ROM revision of the printer and is not the result of the Microsoft Word printer driver.

Star Micronics has confirmed this to be a problem in earlier ROM revisions. The problem was corrected in Firmware revision XB 1.3.

Note: To check the ROM version on a Star Micronics dot-matrix printer, turn the printer on while pressing the LF button. The Firmware revision number will be printed above the self-test.
