Description

When a proportional font is in use and DECPSP is reset, the device prints

characters on a monospaced grid.

DECPSP has no effect on tab settings.

When a proportional font is in use, and DECPSP is reset (monospaced), each

character should be centered in the character cell. If the device absolutely

cannot do centering, left-aligned is acceptable.
