= SUMMARY =

Word does not support proportionally spaced (PS) or condensed fonts with the Toshiba P1340, P1350, and P1351 printers. This is because these printers change the value of the minimum printhead movement to achieve different character spacing. In Word, only one minimum printhead movement can be defined.

The printer switches the minimum printhead movement to 1/200 of an inch to do PS and condensed. This procedure disrupts Word’s margin settings, and the length of the line, since Word assumes it has access to a ten characters-per-inch font with which to form properly dimensioned margins.
