Character Pitch Important! Front panel settings for character pitch are normally overridden when the SI command is received from your software. Character pitch determines how many characters will print on each line. You can choose a specific fixed width for each character in characters per inch (CPI), or Proportional. The higher cpi settings are often used for spreadsheets. Proportional (PROP) sets character widths based on the character itself: e.g., the letter i is assigned a narrower width than the letter m. This provides a more polished, typeset appearance. Note: To reset the printer to the factory default character pitch, deselect the printer, then press and hold the SHIFT key while pressing the CHARACTER PITCH key. Epson and IBM Emulations Set the character pitch by pressing CHARACTER PITCH (1) until the light beneath the desired setting is lit: • 10 cpi • 12 cpi • 15 cpi • 17 cpi • 20 cpi • Proportional MICROLINE Emulation In the MICROLINE emulation, the Character Pitch choices are: • 10 cpi, Proportional or non-proportional • 12 cpi, Proportional or non-proportional • 15 cpi, Proportional or non-proportional • 17 cpi, Proportional or non-proportional • 20 cpi, Proportional or non-proportional To select Proportional, press the CHARACTER PITCH key until both the cpi value and PROP lights are lit.
