Using Your Printer

Set the character pitch by pressing 

 (1)

until the light beneath the desired setting is lit:

• 10 cpi
• 12 cpi
• 15 cpi
• 17 cpi
• 20 cpi
• Proportional

In the MICROLINE emulation, the Character Pitch choices are:

• 10 cpi, Proportional or non-proportional
• 12 cpi, Proportional or non-proportional
• 15 cpi, Proportional or non-proportional
• 17 cpi, Proportional or non-proportional
• 20 cpi, Proportional or non-proportional

To select Proportional, press the 

 key until

both the cpi value and PROP lights are lit.

To select  non-proportional, press the 

 key

until the light for the cpi value you wish to use is lit.

Character pitch determines how many characters will print on
each line. You can choose a specific fixed width for each
character in characters per inch (CPI), or Proportional. The
higher cpi settings are often used for spreadsheets.

Proportional (PROP) sets character widths based on the
character itself: e.g., the letter i is assigned a narrower width
than the letter m. This provides a more polished, typeset
appearance.
