The width of proportional characters varies from character to
character. Therefore, a narrow letter like i receives less space than
a wide letter like W. Proportional character widths are given in
the Appendix. This command overrides the condensed mode and
fixed cpi fonts. When proportional is cancelled, the previously
selected font is used. Graphic characters are printed in fixed cpi
only; proportional mode is only available in Roman and Sans
Serif fonts.
SI
Select Condensed Mode
Format:
ASCII code: SI
Decimal: 15
Hexadecimal: OF
Comments:
Prints characters at about 60 percent of their normal width. For
example, the condensed 10 cpi mode has 17 characters per inch.
Proportional characters override the condensed mode.
Condensed mode cannot be combined with 15 cpi. Condensed
can be turned on and off by SelecType, the SI command, or DIP
switch 1-6.
