PLANNING YOUR FORMS

Suggested uses

You can use the design ruler for character spacing or line spacing. For example, you can use scale 1 for 10 characters per inch (cpi) or 10 lines per inch (lpi). Typically, you use side 1 of the ruler for measuring impact±printed computer output reports in which the character spacing is 10 cpi (scale 1) and line spacing is 6 lpi (scale 2) or 8 lpi (scale 3). You use side 2 for measuring LPS output.

The default spacing for the LPS is 13.6 cpi (scale 5) and 8.1 lpi (scale 6). These defaults allow optimal readability for the standard format of 132 columns by 66 lines.
