Enhancing Your Printing

Condensed

Both 10 and 12 cpi printing can be reduced to about 60% of their normal width using the condensed mode. This mode is particulary useful for printing wide spreadsheets because condensed 12 cpi allows you to print up to 272 characters on an 13.6-inch line.

Condensed can be selected with a software command.

Condensed 10 cpi gives you characters an a line,

Condensed 12 cpi gives even more,

Widening or narrowing the characters also widens or narrows the space between words and letters. Because word processors usually create a left margin by printing spaces, you may need to change the number of characters on a line to keep the margins correct if you change width.

Note: 15 cpi, 17 cpi and 20 cpi can not be condensed.

Special effects and emphasis

The SQ-850 and SQ-2550 have a number of features for those extra effects required either for emphasis or for special printing requirements. These features can be controlled directly by software commands. Many application programs can also produce these effects. Refer to your application program for detail.
