The following printout compares the fixed pitch settings.
This is 10 pitch printing.
This is 12 pitch printing.
This is 15 pitch printing.
For the fixed pitch settings
(10, 12,
and 15 CPI), each character is given
an equal amount of space. For proportional spacing, character width
varies from one character to the next. For example, a narrow letter like i
receives less space than a wide letter like W. Proportional pitch produces
text that is easier to read.
The following printout compares a fixed pitch (10 CPI) spacing with
proportional spacing.
This is 10 pitch printing.
This is proportional spacing.
Condensed mode
In addition to the three fixed pitches and proportional spacing, you can
use the condensed mode to change the character size. In condensed
mode, characters are approximately
60%
of the width of normal
characters. Thus, it is very useful for spreadsheets and other applications
where you need to print the maximum amount of information on a page.
