Character Spacing - Epson LQ-1050 User Manual

The draft mode uses fewer dots per character for high-speed
printing, which makes it ideal for rough drafts and editing work.
Letter Quality fonts take a little longer to print, but produce nicely
formed characters suitable for most documentation requirements.

Character Spacing

To select character spacing, press the PITCH button until the indicator
light of the desired character spacing comes on. The table below
shows the character spacings available with each font.

SuperDraft and normal draft fonts cannot be combined with
proportional spacing because draft overrides proportional.
For the fixed pitch settings (10,12, and 15 cpi), each character is
given an equal amount of space. For proportional spacing, character
width varies from one character to the next. For example, a narrow
letter like i receives less space than a wide letter like W.
