DOTS / LINE dots per line - number of dot columns used within the 400 dot printfield - a product of dot columns (To) and CHARS / LINE

The normal fonts are 5 or 7 dot columns wide (Ch) and the Double Wide fonts are 11 or 15 dot columns wide (2x + 1). No single dot can fire on adjacent columns, i.e. a font which is 7 dot columns wide will not activate any single dot more than 4 times (positions 1, 3, 5 & 7).

The printfield is 2.78” wide and has 400 dot columns, each .00694” apart horizontally. Some pitch selections do not utilize the full printfield width and terminate after the last character which can be completely printed. All lines are left justified.

This printer employs a 9 wire impact print head, however, most characters are printed with the top 7 wires. The bottom 2 wires are used for printing the descenders on the g, j, p, q & y and when text is underlined.
