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. Proportional pitch produces

text that is easier to read.

The following printout compares a fixed pitch (10 CPI) spacing with

proportional spacing.

This is proportional spacing.

Condensed mode

In addition to the three fixed pitches and proportional spacing, you can

use the condensed mode to change the character size. In condensed

mode, characters are approximately

60%

of the width of normal

characters. Thus, it is very useful for spreadsheets and other applications

where you need to print the maximum amount of information on a page.

The

CPI,

CPI, and Proportional pitches can be condensed;

CPI

cannot be.
