If proportional spacing is activated, the use of double width prin-
ting gives double width proportional printing. As this does not
have a fixed pitch, it is not shown in the table.
For certain applications the maximum number of characters in a
line has to be indicated. This depends on the pitch selected. The
following table shows the maximum number of characters per line.
