Characters Per Inch - Oki ML4410 User Manual

A complete summary of all the control codes that are available in each
mode can be found in Appendix A.

CHARACTERS PER INCH

The numbers of characters per inch (CPI) defines how many letters,
numbers or symbols can be printed in one inch. The printer has 5 normal
character sizes:
10 CPI
17.1 CPI
and 5 expanded or double-width counterparts:
5 CPI
6 CPI
7.5 CPI
8.5 CPI
10 CPI
The double-width command expands the characters so that fewer
characters fit in an inch. If text is to be separated into topics, this feature is
ideal for printing headings for each topic.
Although the default setting is 10 CPI, the character pitch can be changed
by entering the following printer control codes for normal characters:
Character Pitch Decimal
10 CPI
12 CPI
17.1 or 20 CPI
15 CPI
and for double width characters:
Double Width
Begin double width printing for one line
Cancel double width printing for one line
Begin double width printing (not cancelled by end
of line)
Cancel double width printing
Note:
Double width printing in 10 CPI and 12 CPI can be
combined with NLQ, emphasised, and enhanced printing.
The ESC W 1 command takes priority over the SO command.
