The following printout compares 10 cpi spacing with proportional spacing:

This is proportional printing.

Note: Proportional spacing is not available in the draft mode.

See the Print Size and Character Width commands in Chapter 9.

Character Size

In addition to the basic cpi spacings and proportional spacing, the printer offers three other modes that can change the size of your printing. These modes are double-width, double-height, and condensed.

The doublewidth mode doubles the width of any size character, while the double-height mode doubles the height of any size character. These modes are useful for emphasizing document titles and headings in reports, but are usually not suitable for large amounts of text. These modes can also be combined to obtain even more impressive printing results.

This is normal 10 cpi printing.
