HARACTER 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.
