Enhancing Your Printing
The following printout compares
10
cpi
spacing with proportional
spacing.
This is
10
cpi
printing.
This is proportional printing.
Note:High-speed draft is available only in
10
cpi.
If you
select
12
cpi
or proportional spacing, the print speed temporarily switches to
normal draft until
12
cpi
or proportional spacing is turned off.
Character size
In addition to the two fixed spacings and proportional spacing, the
DFX-8000
offers three other modes that can change the size of your
printing. These modes are double-wide, double-high, and condensed.
The double-wide mode doubles the width of any size characters,
while the double-high mode doubles the height of any size
characters. These modes are useful for
emphasizing
headings in
reports and making displays, but are usually not suitable for large
amounts of text. These modes can also be combined to obtain even
more impressive printing results.
This is normal
10
cpi
printing.
ThiS
is
double-wide,
This is double-high.
This is double-wide
and double-high.
Both
10
and 12
cpi
printing can be reduced to about
60%
of their
normal width using condensed mode. This mode is particularly
useful for printing wide spreadsheets because condensed
12
cpi
allows you to print up to
160
characters on an g-inch line and
272
characters on a
136inch
line.
