Selecting Character Pitch
The character pitch determines the width of the individual characters and is mea-
sured in characters per inch (cpi). To select the character pitch, press the CHARAC-
TER PITCH button successively until the light underneath the pitch you wish to en-
gage is lit. In the Epson and IBM emulations, the choices are 10 cpi, 12cpi, 15cpi, 17cpi,
20cpi, or Proportional. In the MICROLINE emulation, the choices are 10cpi, 12cpi,
15cpi, 17cpi, or 20 cpi, either non-proportional or proportional: proportional is se-
lected when both the light under the desired cpi and the light under “Prop” are lit.
To reset the pitch to the user default (Menu Setting):
1. Be sure printer is deselected (SEL light out). If not, press SEL button.
2. Hold SHIFT button while pressing CHARACTER PITCH button.
If the SI command is received from your software, the character pitch selected
on the control panel will be overridden by the SI command.
