Samples of these pitches are shown in Figure 2-2. Note that with

proportional pitch different letters occupy different widths. (For example,

“i” and “1” are narrower than other letters.) Proportional pitch is attractive

and space-efficient, though not always convenient when column alignment

is required.

Note that you cannot select condensed proportional pitch on the control

panel. You can make this selection by the printer commands < SI >

< ESC >
