Proportional spacing adjusts the space between letters to compensate for t
widths of individual characters. Unlike fixed spacing, where all characters are for
a matrix of uniform width at a specified pitch, proportional spacing gives more
space to wide characters, such as w or M, and less to narrow characters, such a
printed result is more attractive and easier to read than fixed-space printing.
Because the characters have different widths, proportionally spaced fonts ha>
pitch. Therefore, margin settings are only approximate unless your software
supports proportional spacing. Proportional spacing is available only with Let
(LQ) printing. You can also select proportional spacing in Menu Select mode
printer's control panel. In addition, proportional spacing is one of the feature:
through the print mode combination commands in all the emulations.
