Enhancing Your Printing
Condensed
Both 10 and 12 cpi printing can be reduced to about 60% of
their normal width using the condensed mode. This mode is
particulary useful for printing wide spreadsheets because
condensed 12 cpi allows you to print up to 272 characters on an
13.6-inch line.
Condensed can be selected with a software command.
Condensed 10 cpi gives you characters an a line,
Condensed 12 cpi gives even more,
Widening or narrowing the characters also widens or narrows
the space between words and letters. Because word processors
usually create a left margin by printing spaces, you may need to
change the number of characters on a line to keep the margins
correct if you change width.
Note: 15 cpi, 17 cpi and 20 cpi can not be condensed.
Special effects and emphasis
The SQ-850 and SQ-2550 have a number of features for those
extra effects required either for emphasis or for special printing
requirements. These features can be controlled directly by
software commands. Many application programs can also
produce these effects. Refer to your application program for
detail.
