Switching proportional spacing on/off
Function:
– Switching on proportional spacing
ESC p (1) switches proportional spacing on. With proportional spacing the
character layout is based on the character size 10 cpi. The character width
of the individual characters is however different, for example, the width of the
character ’i’ is smaller than that of the character ’w’. In normal print all the
characters have the same width, whereby irregular spaces arise between
the individual characters of a word.

spacing is possible, if it has been set in the emulation menu.
