Epson LQ-510 - Condensed Mode

Selecting Typestyles
Condensed Mode
You can use the condensed mode to change the size of printed
characters. In the condensed mode, characters are approximately
60 percent of the width of normal characters. Hence, condensed
printing is very useful for spreadsheets and other applications
where you need to print the maximum amount of information on a
page. You can combine the condensed mode with 10 and 12 cpi
printing, but not proportional and 15 cpi.
To select the condensed mode, simply press the CONDENSED button
so that the orange indicator light comes on. To turn off the
condensed mode, press the button again.
The following printout compares normal 10 and 12 cpi with
condensed 10 and 12 cpi. The condensed 10 cpi is 17 cpi, and the
condensed 12 cpi is 20 cpi.
This is 10 CPI printing.
