Epson T-750 Print Size and Character Width, Pitches and Proportional Spacing, d e p i c a, e e l i t e, o u b l e - w, o u b l e - w i d

Print Size and Character Width

To add greater variety to your documents, the T-750 has two pitches as well as proportional spacing and condensed, double-wide and double-high printing. All can be selected with a software command, and condensed can be selected with SelecType.

Pitches and Proportional Spacing

The two pitches are pica and elite. Pica is 10 characters per inch (cpi) and elite is 12 cpi. The printout below shows the difference between the

two.

Pica: ABCDEFGHIJKLMnopqrstuvwxyzElite: ABCDEFGHIJKLMnopqrstuvwxyz

Another mode is proportional. In this mode the width of the characters varies. Therefore, a narrow letter like i receives less space than a wide letter like W, as you can see in the printout below:

Pica: ABCDEFGHIJKLMnopqrstuvwxyz Proportional: ABCDEFGHIJKLMnopqrstuvwxyz

The character tables in Appendix B list the widths of all proportional characters.

Double-wide, double-high, and condensed

In addition to the basic pitches and the proportional mode, the T-750 offers three other modes that change the size of your printing. These modes are double-wide, double-high, and condensed.

The double-wide mode doubles the width of any size of characters. This mode is useful for such purposes as emphasizing headings in reports and making displays, but is usually not suitable for large amounts of text.
