Smith Corona Corporation Memory Mode — 5-1

Mem

Memory Mode

In Mem Mode, text appears on the display as you type. Text is being

automatically saved so it can be recalled, reviewed, edited and/or

printed. In memory mode, 24,000 characters or approximately 10 pages

of double spaced text can be stored. You can create one file that uses all

of the memory or share that memory to create several different files.

You can erase files that are no longer needed to make more room in

memory.

Memory Backup

Your Memory Typewriter is equipped with a rechargeable battery which

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

can preserve memory for a 60 day period under normal conditions.

Storage of 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

unit has been on for a total of one hour. To maintain the 60 day memory

backup level, your Memory Typewriter must be turned on, whether you

are typing or not, for at least one hour every 60 day period.

Memory Remaining

Memory Remaining is shown on the display when you first enter Mem

Mode. Once a file is named, it disappears and is replaced by the Cursor

Position Indicator. However, you can easily check the size of memory

remaining at any time.

Also, 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 to continue or

erase some of your saved files to clear space in memory.

Checking Memory Remaining

You can check Memory remaining in the Type, Line, and Mem Modes.

In Mem Mode, you must access the text display before checking memory

To check memory:

1. Press Code + R. The display momentarily prompts:

Remaining Memory = xxxx

(x = number of character spaces remaining.)

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

Using Forms Layout, you create a file, which remembers the precise locations of text.
