horizontally than draft style dot columns-the horizontal dot spacing is

1/360th of an inch as opposed to 1/120th of an inch for draft characters.

Proportional mode characters

Selecting the proportional character mode yields user-defined characters

of the highest resolution. Characters can be designed using all 37

columns of the Letter Quality/Proportional grid.

Remember that in both Letter Quality and proportional modes, as in

draft mode, you cannot place dots in adjacent columns. There must be

an empty dot position to the left and right of each dot that prints.

Superscripts and subscripts

You can also create superscript and subscript user-defined characters. Just

as Letter Quality characters are defined when the Letter Quality mode is

selected, superscript and subscript characters are created when either

superscript or subscript is selected.

These characters

can

be used as either superscripts or subscripts. The

characters are exactly the same; it is only their placement

that

differs.

The difference between these characters and regular characters is

that

superscript and subscript characters are smaller. They are a maximum of

16

dots high and their width in dot columns is shown in

the

following

table.
