Spacing
If you specify monospaced for a font, each character prints with the same
width. But if you specify proportional spacing the design of each character
determines its width. To define how you want your primary font spaced, send
this command:
<ESC>
(S n
P
in which for n you put O(zero) to get monospaced,
or 1 (one) to get proportional spacing.
If you specify proportional spacing it doesn't matter if you also specify pitch,
because spacing is a higher priority font attribute. The printer willjust ignore
the pitch request.
To define spacing for your secondary font, use the same numbers andjust flip
the parenthesis:
<ESC>
)S n
P
Pitch
Pitch defines how many characters per inch you want for a monospaced-
pitch font. Your Star LaserPrinter 4111'sinternal monospaced-pitch fonts
have settings of 10, 12or 16.66characters per inch. Cartridge or downloaded
fonts with monospaced pitches often have other settings for characters per
inch.
To select the pitch you want for the primary font, send this command:
<ESC>
(S n
H
where for n you put in how many characters per inch you want. For example,
<ESC> (s 12H will pack twelve characters into each inch.
The corresponding pitch command for the secondary font is:
<ESC>
)S n
H
