Pitch
Proprinter pitches include 5, 6, 10, 12 and 16.66 characters per inch, all
available from the front panel’s program menu. Ten-pitch is the default
spacing in Proprinter mode.
To change to a pitch of 12 characters per inch (elite), you can send this
command:
<ESC> :
To turn off compressed or 12-pitch printing and select lo-pitch (pica) again,
send this control code:
<Dc2>
Font height
Proprinter emulation automatically gives you the font heights that corre-
spond to the spacing you are using. That means you automatically get 12-
point type when you specify ten pitch, and IO-point type when you specify
twelve pitch.
If you want a larger or smaller font height you can select the height you want
on the front panel.
Style, stroke weight and typeface
Italic print and boldface can be turned on or off through the front panel, as
well as through the commands described in chapter 5.
The Proprinteremulation uses the Courier font as its default font. It switches
to the Line Printer font for condensed print, and to Prestige for 12-pitch. If
you have loaded the printer with any of the other font typefaces listed under
the Proprinter Font Attributes part of the program menu, they will print in this
emulation as well.
