Pitch
Pitch, sometimes referred to as cpi or characters per inch, indicates
the number of characters which can fit horizontally within one inch.
For example, your printer has the PCL typeface Courier 10 pitch, 12
points. Ten characters fit within an inch and the size is 12 points in
height.
This is 10 characters/inch pitch
This is 12 characters/inch pitch
This is 15 characters/inch pitch
