Character Pitch; Table 6 Possible Character Pitches - TransAct POSjet 1500 Programmer's Manual

Programmer's Guide

Character Pitch

Each character has at least one, half-column, inter-character spacing included within the cell size. The inter-
character spacing provides the maximum character pitch as shown in the table below. Change the spacing between
characters in one of two ways. The first is to request that right side spacing be added between characters; the other
is to request a specific pitch in characters per inch. When a specific character per inch (cpi) is selected, the printer
calculates the number of half dot columns that must be inserted or removed between characters to print at the
requested cpi. If the single width characters will overlap excessively, the printer will switch to half width characters.
It is not always possible to print at exactly the requested pitch. The printer selects the closest possible pitch to the
one chosen.
