Relative Amount of Backspace
10 (PICA)
1/6 of a character
12 (ELITE)
1/5 of a character
15 (MICRON)
1/4 of a character
NOTES:
• If CODE + BS1 is pressed when the carrier is on the left margin or on the left end,
the typewriter beeps, dressing CODE + M REL allows the carrier to go beyond
the left margin.
• When the text is displayed (centering, right margin flush, decimal tab orUL mode)
CODE+BS1 is used to superimpose characters. (See “Permanent Backspace”
next.)

J
The permanent backspace function is used to print superimposed characters in the
display mode (centering, right margin flush, decimal tab, and L/L mode). For example,
“0” and are used to produce a “striko-ovor" zero (0), or “Y” and to produce a
Japanese Yen currency symbol {¥).
1. Type the base character “Y”.
2. Press CODE + BACKSPACE. The cursor will move one space to the left.
3. Type the character which is to be imposed “=”. The base character “Y’, a
permanent backspace symbol <■• , and the character to be imposed “=” will be
displayed side by side.
NOTE:
In type mode, you do not need to press CODE. Pressing BACKSPACE alone
moves the carrier back to the last character allowing you to superimpose another
character.

Pressing CODE + EXPR moves the carrier all the way to the left margin. If you press
CODE + M REL, the carrier moves all the way to the left end.
NOTES:
• When you have a paragraph indent and the carrier is located at its right, pressing
CODE + EXPR once moves the carrier to the paragraph indent; pressing the
same keys again moves the carrier to the left margin.
