Selecting Typestyles Character spacing For all of the eight built-in fonts, you can choose character spacing of 10, 12, 15, 17, or 20 cpi (characters per inch), or proportional spacing using the DIP switches or software commands. In the 10, 12, 15, 17, and 20 cpi modes, each character gets an equal amount of space. In proportional mode, the spacing varies from character to character. A narrow letter like the lowercase i receives less space than the uppercase W. The printout below compares the different types of spacing: This is 10 cpi printing.
