NORMAL WIDE DOUBLE WIDE

DOTS / LINE dots per line - number of dot columns used within the 400 dot printeld - a product of
dot columns (To) and CHARS / LINE
The normal fonts are 5 or 7 dot columns wide (Ch) and the Double Wide fonts are 11 or 15 dot
columns wide (2x + 1). No single dot can re on adjacent columns, i.e. a font which is 7 dot columns
wide will not activate any single dot more than 4 times (positions 1, 3, 5 & 7).
The printeld is 2.78” wide and has 400 dot columns, each .00694” apart horizontally. Some pitch
selections do not utilize the full printeld width and terminate after the last character which can be
completely printed. All lines are left justied.
This printer employs a 9 wire impact print head, however, most characters are printed with the top
7 wires. The bottom 2 wires are used for printing the descenders on the g, j, p, q & y and when text
is underlined.
