Character pitch determines the width of the individual characters and is measured in characters per inch (cpi). Press the CHARACTER PITCH button successively to page through the possible selections.

Epson and IBM emulations — 10 cpi, 12 cpi, 15 cpi, 17 cpi, 20 cpi, or Proportional. The lights indicate which pitch is selected.

Okidata Microline Standard emulation — 10, 12, 15, 17, or 20 cpi, either non-proportional or proportional: proportional is selected when both the light under the desired cpi and the light under PROP are lit.

To reset the character pitch to the factory default (10 cpi), make sure the printer is deselected (SEL light out), then hold the SHIFT button while pressing CHARACTER PITCH button.
