Type Mode

In Type Mode, the typing scale appears on the display and the blinking

cursor moves along it as you type characters on paper. The Spell-Right

Dictionary is active in Type Mode unless you deactivate it. It alerts you

to misspelled or mistyped words. (See “Spell-Right Dictionary.”)

The Display

Type Mode is activated by sliding the mode selector switch to Type, if

necessary. The typing scale, illustrated below, appears on the display.

typing position.

Page Layout

Before you begin typing, set Margins, Tabs, Pitch, Line Spacing, End of

Page, and Impression Control. Instructions are in “Page Layout.”

Auto Return

You can program your typewriter to automatically return at the end of

each line. When a space or hyphen is typed in the “warning zone,”

which begins five spaces before the right margin, the carrier

automatically returns to the next line. For lengthy words falling at the

end of the line, simply type a hyphen as you normally would and the

carrier returns automatically. To activate Auto Return:

Auto Return ON

2. Type text. Do not press Return at the end of a line.
