Smith Corona Corporation Memory Mode — 4-1

Memory Mode

Word processing tasks are done in Memory Mode. In this mode, text

appears on the display as you type. Text is automatically saved so it can

be recalled, reviewed, edited and/or printed. In Mem Mode, 6,700

characters, or approximately 3 pages of double spaced text, can be

stored. You can create one file that uses all of the memory or share that

memory and create up to eight different files. You can erase files that are

no longer needed to make more room in memory.

Rechargeable 60-Day Memory Backup

Your typewriter is equipped with a rechargeable battery that supplies

power to preserve your stored memory and format. The battery can

preserve memory for a 60-day period under normal conditions. Storing

your typewriter in an extremely hot environment (above 100° F) can

reduce the battery capacity. When you first use your typewriter after

purchase, the 60-day level will not be effective until the typewriter has

been on for a total of one hour. To maintain the 60-day memory backup

level, your typewriter must be turned on, whether you are typing or not,

for a total of one hour every 60-day period.

Memory Remaining

When there are 400 character spaces remaining in memory, the

typewriter beeps three times. The display briefly prompts:

Mem = 400

When memory has no character spaces remaining, the unit beeps 3 times

and briefly prompts:

Mem = 0

then text returns to your display. Switch to Type Mode or erase some of

your saved files to clear space in memory.

Checking Memory Remaining

You can check remaining memory any time while you are in

Mem Mode.

1. Press Code + R and hold. The display prompts:

Mem = xx

(xx is the number of character spaces remaining)

2. Release both keys and the display returns to its prior contents.

Editing Saved Text For Example: Cursor is here... You may wish to locate specific section of your text to edit. Instead of using the cursor to scroll through the text, you can quickly move to the desired location by using the search features.
