Character pitch
For each of the three built-in fonts, you can choose a character
pitch of 10, 12, or 15 characters per inch (CPI), and for all except
draft you can choose proportional spacing (PS).
To select a pitch, press the PITCH button until the indicator light
of the desired pitch comes on. Note that some font modules do not
offer all pitches. See the section on font modules in Chapter 7.
The following printout compares the three pitches:
This is 10 CPI printing.
This is 12 CPI printing.
This is 15 CPI printing.
In 10, 12, and 15 CPI, each character is given the same amount
of space. The width of proportional spacing, however, varies from
character to character. Therefore, a narrow letter like i receives less
space than
a wide letter like W.
The following printout compares IO-pitch spacing with
proportional spacing:
This is 10 CPI spacing.
This is proportional spacing.
