I use the same filter for my Kyocera FS-600. I spent a couple of days, on and
off,
trying to find how to change the printer settings, until I discovered that you
can
simply put the relevant codes into the text you are printing. E.g. if I want to
use
a particular resident font (say Font 2), I just put:
!R! FONT 2; EXIT;
at the head of the text. After finishing the text the printer seems to revert
to the
default settings but this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
