Prop. Spacing

Each printed character is contained inside a character cell. The width of the character cell includes the character and the space around the character.

•Disable. Each character cell is printed with the same width. Each column in the printed text will line up.

•Enable. The width of each character cell varies with the width of the character. For example, [i] takes less space to print than [m]. Using proportional fonts generally increases the readability of printed documents, giving text a typeset appearance.
