PRINTING WITH THE 4213
Spacing All fonts are designed with either fixed or proportional spacing.
If the font spacing is set for fixed, all character cells are the same
width regardless of the size of the character being printed. If the
font spacing is set for proportional, character cell width depends
on the character size. For example, a "W" is a wider character
than an "I." If spacing is fixed, the characters (W and I) would be
given the same sized character cell and equal space on the
printed line. If spacing is proportional, the wider character (W) is
contained in a wider character cell and given more space on the
printed line than the narrower character (I).
Pitch Pitch refers to the number of characters that can be placed in a
horizontal inch of text. All fixed pitch fonts use a specific pitch
size. For example, a font with a pitch setting of 10 prints 10
characters for every horizontal inch of the page. Fonts with
proportional spacing do not specify pitch.
Point size Points are units of measurement used to determine character
height. For example, the text in this user guide is printed in 10
this text is printed in 12 point size

Style The 4213 laser printer can print using either upright or italic
character style.
Stroke weight Stroke weight refers to the thickness of print. Light, medium and
bold stroke weights are printed.
Note: Fonts used in the 4213 are filled fonts and have no
difference in appearance from stroked fonts except for the
Courier font. Using the Courier font may cause the stroke
weight to appear bolder on the 4213 output document.
Typeface Typeface refers to the printed design of characters.
Note: If you delete and replace characters in a font, the results
are unpredictable. The last replaced font will be used.
