Selecting a Pitch
Holding down the Alt button and pressing the Pitch button selects the
next available pitch (number of characters per inch) and displays the pitch
setting. You can select 10, 12, 13.3, 15, 17.1 or 20 characters per inch.
If the current font is a proportionally-spaced font, you can also select PS.
If your software application sets the pitch to some nonstandard value,
such as 5- or 8-pitch, NS (for nonstandard) appears as the current pitch.
When you select a pitch, characters in the current font expand or com-
press to fit the new spacing.
Selecting a Color
Holding down the Alt button and pressing the Color button selects the
next available color and displays the name of the color. You can select
BLACK, BLUE, RED, YELLOW, PURPLE, GREEN, or ORANGE.
If a monochrome ribbon is installed in the printer, you can select only
BLACK.

Line Feeding

down the Line Feed button causes continuous line feeding. The actual
distance that the paper advances for a line feed depends on the current
lines per inch (lpi) setting. As you line feed, the printer increments the
internal line count. If you use the Line Feed button to move paper to the
top-of-form, you must press the Set Top button to initialize the line count
to zero.
