Sets character pitch to 15 characters per inch (cpi).
This command is available in all print modes except DBCS
mode. This command affects the front panel setting of cpi.

Condenses print pitch as close as possible to 60 percent of the
former character width.
10 cpi condenses to 17.1 cpi
12 cpi or 13.3 cpi condenses to 20 cpi
15 cpi will not have condense print
Control code SI affects all subsequent characters. After
receiving code SI, all characters are printed condensed until
the printer is reset by ESC M, ESC P, DC2, a printer reset, or a
new print mode control code. SI code (hex 0F) is equivalent to
the ESC SI code. If condensed print is not allowed in the
current font, this code is ignored. Proportional spacing
overrides condensed printing. This control code does not
function while in DBCS mode. 12 cpi will condense to 20 cpi
only if the menu option "20 CPI Condensed" is enabled.
The program below shows condensed character printing and
reset.
