Chapter 3: Character Size & Spacing Commands This chapter describes the commands used to set the size and spacing of characters printed: • Pitch Setting Commands • Superscript & Subscript Commands • Double Width & Height Commands • Combined Print Features Command • Character Spacing Commands Pitch Setting Commands These commands are used to select the pitch in characters per inch (cpi) used. For example, at 10 cpi, each character is 1/10" wide. The number of characters that will fit on a line depends on the pitch you have selected and on whether you have a narrow carriage or a wide carriage printer. You can also set pitch using the printer's front panel or the menu (see "Menu Mode" in your printer manual).

Chapter 3: Character Size & Spacing Commands
This chapter describes the commands used to set the size and spacing of characters printed:
Pitch Setting Commands
Superscript & Subscript Commands
Double Width & Height Commands
Combined Print Features Command
Character Spacing Commands
Pitch Setting Commands
These commands are used to select the pitch in characters per inch (cpi) used. For example, at
10 cpi, each character is 1/10" wide. The number of characters that will fit on a line depends
on the pitch you have selected and on whether you have a narrow carriage or a wide carriage
printer. You can also set pitch using the printer's front panel or the menu (see “Menu Mode” in
your printer manual).
