Character spacing
ln normal draft and NLQ mode, you can select proportional spacing
or a character spacing: of l O or 12 characters per inch (cpi) with
software commands, In high-speed draft
mode, only
10 cpi printing
is available. (Ten cpi is the
printer’s
default character spacing.)
ln the 10 and 12 cpi modes, each character gets an equal amount of
space. In proportional mode,
the
spacing varies from character to
character. A narrow letter like
the
lowercase i receives less space
than the uppercase W.
