  - Take the printer offline
 
  - Press self test button
    Look at the page and find the 16.7 char set
    Find the code to the left of the desired sample
 
  - Press Config key and press up/down until number 1.
    Release the Config, should see 0...press up/down to get to desired
    font (ie, 1).  Press enter.  The desired font will be the default
    but can be overridden with escape codes.

  A standard cable will work.  Unfortunately, all you can print is ASCII
  from a DOS prompt.  There are no PC drivers for these printers.
