Press this button to select the character pitch. You can choose 10, 12, or 15 CPI (character per inch) or PS (proportional spacing). The orange indicator light shows the selected pitch.

-LCONDENSED

Press this button to select either condensed or normal printing. The orange light is on when the printer is in condensed mode. In this mode, all characters are printed at approximately 60% of

their normal width. This mode cannot be combined with 15 CPI.

Two combinations do not work: draft proportional and condensed 15 cpi. If you try to choose one of these, the printer beeps three times.
