Character pitch determines the width of the individual
characters and is measured in characters per inch (cpi).
Press the CHARACTER PITCH button successively to
page through the possible selections.
Epson and IBM emulations — 10 cpi, 12 cpi, 15 cpi,
17 cpi, 20 cpi, or Proportional. The lights indicate
which pitch is selected.
Okidata Microline Standard emulation — 10, 12, 15,
17, or 20 cpi, either non-proportional or proportional:
proportional is selected when both the light under the
desired cpi and the light under PROP are lit.
To reset the character pitch to the factory default (10 cpi),
make sure the printer is deselected (SEL light out), then
hold the SHIFT button while pressing CHARACTER
PITCH button.
