Summary - Epson FX-80 User Manual

Elite takes priority over all the modes below it in the chain. The same
is true of Proportional and Emphasized Modes. In addition, Propor-
tional has priority over Double-Strike and over the two Script Modes
that are covered in Chapter 5.
Summary
Double-Strike and Emphasized Modes can be used to produce
bolder characters. The drawbacks are minimal: slower speed and
shorter ribbon life. Double-Strike can be combined with all modes
except Proportional, while Emphasized cannot be combined with Elite
or Compressed.
Proportional spacing strips off any excess spaces between charac-
ters. It is only valid in Pica pitch and automatically prints in Empha-
sized Mode. It cannot be mixed with Double-Strike.
Appendix C gives a complete listing of Proportional Mode's charac-
ter widths.
