Basic Typing

Important Notes!

1. Forconcisenfiss, once the function ofalcey has been explained, we shall use the symbol

for the function, for example [BKSP] for BACKSPACE. When referring to the

secondary function ofthe key, we shall use the symbol for the secondary function, for

example [BS I ] for MICRO BACKSPACE. When referringto functions used with the

[CODE] or [ALT] keys, we shall say “press [CODE] + [BS I]’’ to mean “hold down

the [CODE] key, then press the [BS I] key", for example.

2. When the flashing cursor symbol is over a character, the display alternates between

the cursor and the character, e.g. ® ^ E —^ As it is not possible to show

this alternation in the diagrams, the cursor symbol will, in general, be shown instead

ofthe character, except where it is more important to see the text.

Typewriter Operation

When using your typewriter in TW mode, you can use it like an ordinary typewriter, with

each character being printed as it is typed. Alternatively, you can type a line of text on the

display, and only print it after you have checked and corrected it. In this section we will

look at these different modes of operation, but first, you need to select typewriter mode.

Selecting TW Operation

The machine should be switched on, with the MAIN MENU in the display.

To select typewriter operation, press [I]. If the machine has not been used before, the

following message should appear.

The number in the top right-hand comer of the display tells you how many characters

remain between the current carriage position and the right margin. It will decrement by

one for every space that the carriage moves to the right, and is useful for setting tabs as

well as telling you how many characters remain on the current line.
