Selecting Typestyles

For the fixed pitch settings (10, 12, 15, 17 and 20 cpi), each character is given an equal amount of space. For proportional spacing, character width varies from one character to the next. For example, a narrow letter like i receives less space than a wide letter like W.

The following printout compares 10 cpi (a fixed spacing) printing with proportional spacing.

This is 10 cpi printing.

This is proportional spacing.
