First Alert ACTION T-1000 - Manual (Page 45)

Print Size and Character Width
Condensed can be selected with
SelecType,
by setting
a
DIP
switch (see
Chapter 5), or with a software command. Even if you turn condensed on
with the DIP switch, you can still turn it off with SelecType or the
software command.
Condensed pica
gives
more characters on a line.
Condensed elite gives you even mare.
Widening or narrowing the characters also widens or narrows the spaces
between
words and
letters. Because word processors usually create a left
margin by printing spaces, you may need to change the left margin and
the number of characters on a line to keep the margins correct if you
change widths. For example, a left margin of five pica characters is the
same as one of six elite characters.
