Character Pitch
Proportional Spacing
In fixed spacing, each character has exactly the same width, but you can
change the number of characters per inch (cpi) to print.
Proportional spacing, however, gives a different width depending on the
character.
By selecting the appropriate national character set, you can print in a
different language. The set is selected using a combination of the DIP
switches. (See also Appendix B: Code Pages and Character Sets.)
Character pitch lets you print characters in fixed or proportional spacing.
The illustration below shows their difference.
