A few word processing programs support the FX's Proportional
Mode. Since there is no DIP switch for this mode, consult your pro-

you wish to use right-justification with Proportional, be sure that
your program can do so.
Another option-for those who use foreign characters in their cor-
respondence-is to select the appropriate country with switches
1-7, and Eight of the 9 countries can be selected (all except Japan)
1-8.
according to the chart in Appendix E. This will work as long as your
word processor can send out the required codes. See Chapter 6.
For software that allows you to insert printer codes during
up or operation of the program, see the Quick Reference card for
appropriate codes.

Graphics and User-Defined Characters

Set switch 1-4 OFF to enable you to define characters.
