Print Size and Character Width To add greater variety to your documents, the EX has two pitches as well as proportional spacing and condensed printing. All four can be selected either with SelecType or a software command, and software commands also offer one other option: doublewidth printing. Pitches and Proportional Spacing The two pitches are pica and elite. Pica is 10 characters per inch (cpi) and elite is 12 cpi. The printout below shows the difference between the tW0. Pica: ABCDEFGHIJKLMnopqrstuvwxyz Elite: ABCDEFGHIJKLhopqrstuvwxyz Another mode is proportional. In this mode the width of the characters varies. Therefore, a narrow letter like i receives less space than a wide letter like W, as you can see in the printout below: Pica: ABCDEFGHIJKLMnopqrstuvwxyz Proportional: ABCDEFGHIJKLMnopqrstuvwxyz The character tables in Appendix B list the widths of all proportional characters. Double-width and condensed In addition to the basic pitches and the proportional mode, the EX offers two other modes that change the size of your printing. These modes are double-width and condensed. The double-width mode doubles the width of any size of characters. This mode is useful for such purposes as emphasizing headings in reports and making displays, but is usually not suitable for large amounts of text.

Print Size and Character Width
To add greater variety to your documents, the EX has two pitches as
well as proportional spacing and condensed printing. All four can be
selected either with SelecType or a software command, and software
commands also offer one other option: doublewidth printing.
Pitches and Proportional Spacing
The two pitches are pica and elite. Pica is 10 characters per inch (cpi)
and elite is 12 cpi. The printout below shows the difference between the
tW0.
Pica: ABCDEFGHIJKLMnopqrstuvwxyz
Elite:
ABCDEFGHIJKLhopqrstuvwxyz
Another mode is proportional. In this mode the width of the
characters varies. Therefore, a narrow letter like i receives less space
than a wide letter like W, as you can see in the printout below:
Pica: ABCDEFGHIJKLMnopqrstuvwxyz
Proportional: ABCDEFGHIJKLMnopqrstuvwxyz
The character tables in Appendix B list the widths
of
all proportional
characters.
Double-width and condensed
In addition to the basic pitches and the proportional mode, the EX
offers two other modes that change the size of your printing. These
modes are double-width and condensed.
The double-width mode doubles the width of any size of characters.
This mode is useful for such purposes as emphasizing headings in
reports and making displays,
but
is usually not suitable for large
amounts of text.
