User-defined Characters

Remember that in Letter Quality and proportional modes, as in draft, you cannot place dots in adjacent columns. There must be an empty dot position to the left and right of each dot that prints.

Superscripts and subscripts

You can also create superscript and subscript user-defined characters. Just as Letter Quality characters are defined when the Letter Quality mode is selected, super/subscript characters are created when either superscript or subscript is selected.

These super/subscript characters can be used either as superscripts or as subscripts. The characters are exactly the same; it is only their placement that differs. The difference between super/subscript characters and regular characters is that they are smaller. They are a maximum of 16 dots high and their width in dot columns is shown in the table below:
