Assigning a value of character space

Besides being able to specify the actual width of the character, this printer allows you to specify the position in the standard grid where the character will print. You must specify the dot column in which the printed character starts and the dot column in which the character ends. Why, you may ask, would you want to define a character this way instead of merely defining the overall width of the character’?Because this printer’s proportional character definitions can also be used to print normal width characters, and by centering even the narrow characters in the complete grid they will look good even if you are not printing them proportionally.

The three bytes are used to specify the width of the character and the space to be allowed on either side of it. The left space (in dot columns) is specified

by and the right space is specified bybyte specifies the width of the character in dots. By varying the width of the character itself and the spaces around it, you can actually create proportional width charac- ters.
