Character spacing

Character spacings of 10, 12, or 15 cpi (characters per inch) and proportional are available using software commands or your application program. See Chapter 7 for the character spacings available for each font.

In the 10, 12, or 15-cpi modes, each character gets an equal amount of space. In proportional mode, the spacing varies from character to character. A narrow letter like a lowercase i receives less space than an uppercase W.

Use Roman T or Sans Serif H font only in proportional mode for best results.

The printout below compares the different types of spacing:
