CHARACTER PITCH
Character pitch determines how many characters will print on each
line. You can choose a specific fixed width (10 to 20) for each
character in characters per inch (CPI). 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.
To select Proportional, press the
CHARACTER PITCH
key until both the
cpi value and
PROP
lights are illuminated.
To select non-proportional, press the
CHARACTER PITCH
key until the
light for the cpi value you wish to use is illuminated.
