2. Set “Arc outside, char. spacing by length” or “Arc inside, char. spacing by length” for
“Character arrangement”.
3. For “Character spacing type”, select one of the following options: “Fixed spacing”,
“Proportional 1”, “Proportional 2”, “Proportional 3”.
“Justify” cannot be selected.
“Fixed spacing”
Regardless of the character width, the characters are spaced evenly by a specified
length. The character spacing value is defined as the length along an arc between the
center lines of two adjacent characters.

Proportional settings (“Proportional 1”, “Proportional 2”, “Proportional 3”)
Depending on the width of the characters, the character spacing is adjusted. Select
this setting to adjust the spacing of specific characters such as “i” or “l”. The character
spacing value is defined as the length along an arc between the end (right edge) of one
character and the start (left edge) of the next.
Select “Proportional 1”, “Proportional 2” or “Proportional 3” from the list box.
“Proportional 1” specifies the smallest spacing between the characters, “Proportional 3”
the largest.
• “Proportional 1”: The character spacing of “i” or “l” (small letter “L”) is defined as “0”.
Use this setting to set a minimum character spacing value.
• “Proportional 2”: With this setting, the character width of “i” or “l” (small letter “L”) is
defined as 1/4 of the width of the letter “W”.
• “Proportional 3”: With this setting, the character width of “i” or “l” (small letter “L”) is
defined as 5/8 of the width of the letter “W”.
If “LP-400/V compatibility” on the “System settings” screen is selected, set “Proportional”
for “Character spacing type”. Specify the proportional settings (“Proportional 1”,
“Proportional 2”, “Proportional 3”) under “File settings” > “Proportional type”.
