other hand to the character box of the print character (also see appendix "Paper

'Character box' definition

ans of the selected character spacing:
10 characters/inch : width = 1/10 inch = 2.54 mm
12 characters/inch : width = 1/12 inch = 2.12 mm
15 characters/inch : width = 1/15 inch = 1.69 mm
Width of the character box for proportional spacing from 1. 27 mm to 2.96 mm.
The height of the character box is defined by means of the vertical distance bet-
ween the highest and lowest needles (for the document printer 3.5 mm). Within
this character box each dot can be printed (blacked) via a needle.
