Proportional printing
When the printer is in the LQ mode, it is able to print text with
proportional spacing (yielding approximately 80 characters per
inch). This means that each character gets precisely the amount
of space it needs. For example, the letter “m” is given twice the
amount of space used for the “i”, since it’s twice as wide.
Proportional spacing is used in newspapers, magazines and many
books because it gives a polished appearance to the finished page.
