Note: High-speed draft is available only with 10 cpi printing. Underlining and double-width printing can be combined with high-speed draft. If other enhancements or character spacings are selected, the printer switches to normal draft speed. High-speed draft resumes again after the feature is turned off. Character Spacing To add greater variety to your documents, the printer has three cpi spacings, as well as proportional spacing. Each one can be selected with a software command. For each of the Letter Quality fonts (Roman and Sans Serif), you can choose a character spacing of 10, 12, or 15 cpi, or proportional spacing. However, you cannot combine normal draft mode with proportional spacing, and high-speed draft mode is available only in 10 cpi printing. The printout below compares the three spacings: This is 10 cpi printing. This is 12 cpi printing. This is 15 cpi printing. As shown above, 15 cpi characters are only about two-thirds the height of 10 and 12 cpi characters. This makes 15 cpi particularly useful when you want to separate certain material from the main text. In fixed cpi spacing each character is given the same amount of space. The width of proportional characters, however, varies from character to character. For example, a narrow letter like i takes less space than a wide letter like W. The width of each proportional character is given in the Appendix. Software and Graphics 4-3
