Enhancing Your 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 width of each
proportional character is given in the Appendix.
The following printout compares 10 cpi spacing with
proportional spacing.
This is 10 cpi printing.
This is proportional spacing.
Proportional spacing is not available in draft mode.
Character size
In addition to the basic pitches and proportional spacing, the
SQ-850 and SQ-2550 offer three other modes that can change the
size of your printing. These modes are double-width,
double-height, and condensed.
Double-width and double-height
The double-width mode doubles the width of any size
character, while the double-height mode doubles the height of
any size character. These modes are useful for emphasizing
headings in reports and making displays, but are usually not
suitable for large amounts of text. These modes can also be
combined to obtain even more impressive printing results.
