CHARACTER PITCH

1

Character pitch determines how many characters will print on each line. You can choose a specific fixed width for each character in characters per inch (cpi), or Proportional. 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.

NOTE

Front panel settings for character pitch are normally overridden when the SI command is received from your software.

EPSON AND IBM EMULATIONS

Set the character pitch by pressing CHARACTER PITCH (1) until the light beneath the desired setting is illuminated:

l10 cpi; 12 cpi; 15 cpi; 17 cpi; 20 cpi or Proportional

l10 cpi; 12 cpi; 15 cpi; 17 cpi; 20 cpi, Proportional or non- proportional

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