CHARACTER PITCH
Character pitch determines how many characters will print on each
line. You can choose a specific fixed width for each character in
characters per inch (cpi), or Proportional. The higher cpi settings are
often used for spreadsheets.
Proportional (
PROP
) sets character widths based on the character
itself: e.g., the letter i is assigned a narrower width than the letter m.
This provides a more polished, typeset appearance.
EPSON AND IBM EMULATIONS
Set the character pitch by pressing
CHARACTER PITCH
(1) until the
light beneath the desired setting is illuminated:
l 10 cpi; 12 cpi; 15 cpi; 17 cpi; 20 cpi or Proportional
MICROLINE Emulation
In the MICROLINE emulation, the Character Pitch choices are:
l 10 cpi; 12 cpi; 15 cpi; 17 cpi; 20 cpi, Proportional or non-
proportional
To select Proportional, press the

key until both the
cpi value and
PROP
lights are illuminated.
