CHARACTER PITCH

1

Character pitch determines how many characters will print on each line. You can choose a specific fixed width (10 to 20) for each character in characters per inch (CPI). The higher cpi settings are often used for spreadsheets.

Proportional (PROP) sets character widths based on the character itself: e.g., the letter i is assigned a narrower width than the letter m. This provides a more polished, typeset appearance.

To select Proportional, press the CHARACTER PITCH key until both the cpi value and PROP lights are illuminated.

To select non-proportional, press the CHARACTER PITCH key until the light for the cpi value you wish to use is illuminated.
