The DMP-500 is a high-density dot-matrix printer which can perform a varie-
ty of different printing operations. For instance, it can print:

* Proportional spaced characters.
* Monospaced characters (Normal, Condensed, and Compressed).
* Correspondence Quality characters.
* Graphic characters.

For maximum efficiency, the DMP-500 operates in three modes:

* Data Processing Mode for fastest output of program listings or data.
* Word Processing Mode for letter-writing or the creation of any text  
  documentation.
* Graphics Mode for drawing pictures, figures, or graphs.

For word processing, you'll find the DMP-500's Proportional spaced 
characters (created on a variable 9 x 23 dot-matrix) can produce 
letter-quality results.

If, however, you need a print-out that is produced faster, Monospaced
characters (created on an 8 x 9 dot-matrix) are just the thing for you.

In the Graphics Mode, you can use graphic data to draw just about any type 
of graphic configuration you desire.

You can use two types of paper with the DMP-500.

* Standard (4 - 15" wide) computer fanfold forms with guide holes.(rear or  
  bottom load)  The Printer can also print one original and up to three  
  carbon-copies.
* Standard single-sheet typewriter paper for use as an ordinary typewriter.

Other software-controlled features include:

* Bidirectional minimum-distance access carriage motion.
* Full or Half-line Forward and Reverse (for printing below the "current"
  line) and 3/4 Line Feed.
