The draft mode uses fewer dots per character for high-speed printing, which makes it ideal for rough drafts and editing work. Letter Quality fonts take a little longer to print, but produce nicely formed characters suitable for most documentation requirements. Character Spacing To select character spacing, press the PITCH button until the indicator light of the desired character spacing comes on. The table below shows the character spacings available with each font. Font Draft Epson Roman Epson Sans Serif Epson Courier Epson Prestige Epson Script OCR-B OCR-A Epson Orator Epson Orator-S Character spacing 10, 12, 15 10, 12, 15, Proportional 10, 12, 15, Proportional 10, 12, 15 10, 12, 15 10, 12, 15 10 10 10 10 SuperDraft and normal draft fonts cannot be combined with proportional spacing because draft overrides proportional. For the fixed pitch settings (10,12, and 15 cpi), each character is given an equal amount of space. For proportional spacing, character width varies from one character to the next. For example, a narrow letter like i receives less space than a wide letter like W. 3-10 Using the Printer
