Print Size/Width/Enhancements
Four modes in the IBM printer emulation mode are incompatible
with each other. These modes are pica, elite, condensed, and
proportional. (Proportional is available only on the FX-286e.)
Therefore, if you select any one of these, you cancel all the others.

The width of proportional characters varies from character to
character. Therefore, a narrow letter like i receives less space than a
wide letter like W. The proportional widths are given in the
character tables, which appear in Appendix B. This command
overrides condensed, pica, and elite.
