Horizontal Fositioning
The display indicates the left margin and all other horizontal distances in terms of
columns. On paper, however, the width of these columns depends on the
selected pitch. This word processor supports three character widths:
Name Character Spacing
Pica 10 characters per inch (cpi)
Elite 12 cpi
Micron 15 cpi
Screen Width vs. Paper Width
The distance between the left and right margins must be smaller than the paper
width. Suppose your paper is 8.5 inches wide and you are using Pica pitch (10
cpi). You can fit a maximum of 85 characters per line. The distance between mar­
gins should therefore be smaller than 85 columns on the screen (check the COL
indicator on the status line). The following table indicates the maximum distance
between margins for letter-size paper:
Width Maximum Characters Between Margins
Letter Size
8.5 inch
10 (Pica) 12 (Elite) 15 (Micron)
85 102 127

The pitch is automatically set to 10 when the power is turned on. Pressing
+ iPtTCHl will cycle the PITCH indicator through the following values;
PITCH: 10 12 15 10
When the pitch is changed, a format symbol ^ appears in the dead column of
the first line of that paragraph. The text is automatically reformatted down from
the format symbol.
