Tabs
You can set up to six tabs, either regular or
decimal. Tabs may be set outside of
margins.
Regular Tab Decimal
This is 123.56
a Regular 12.47
Tab 2.09
Regular Tabs
Regular tabs justify text at the tab stop. To
set a regular tab:
1. Position print hammer at desired location.
2. Press Tab S. Unit beeps.
Decimal Tabs
Decimal tabs are used to align numbers with
the decimal point. To set a decimal tab:
1. Position the print hammer at desired
location.
2. Press Code + D. Tab (O). Unit beeps.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to set more decimal
tabs if desired.
4. Press Return when all tabs are set.
Using Tabs
Once tabs are set, they can be used as you
are typing your text.
1. Press Tab to move to tab location.
2. Type text. If using a decimal tab, type the
numbers preceding the decimal point. The
carrier moves to the left for each number
you type. If you make a mistake, press
Tab to start again.
3. Type the decimal point. The numbers
print to this point.
4. Type the numbers following the decimal
point.
Clearing a Tab
Both types of tabs are cleared the same way.
1. Position print hammer to tab setting.
2. Press Code + Tab (Tab C) . Release
immediately. Unit beeps.
Clearing All Tabs Quickly
Press and hold Code + Tab (Tab C) until 2
beeps are heard. If you are positioned at a
tab stop, you will hear 3 beeps.
Pitch
Your typewriter has been designed with triple
pitch capabilities. To set the Pitch:
Press Code + Tab S for 10 Pitch.
Press Code + 1 for 12 Pitch.
Press Code + 2 for 15 Pitch.
Unit beeps when selecting pitch.
Note: Your typewriter is set at 10 pitch.
Change the printwheel if you select another
pitch. Changing pitch in the middle of a line
erases Correction Memory. However, after
the new pitch is selected, Correction Memory
begins again.
Line Spacing
Each time you turn the typewriter on, it is set
for single line spacing. You can change line
spacing to 1
1
⁄
2
line spacing or double line
spacing. To change line spacing:
Press Code + 3 for single line spacing.
Press Code + 4 for 1
1
⁄
2
line spacing.
Press Code + 5 for double line
spacing.
Unit beeps when selecting line spacing.
Impression Control
Impression control is the force used by the
print mechanism to strike the paper. When
you turn the typewriter on, it is set at
medium. You can change to light or heavy
impression. It is recommended that you
select heavy impression when typing on
carbons. For normal typing, use medium
impression. To set impression control:
Press Code + L for light impression.
Press Code + M for medium
impression.
Press Code + H for heavy impression.
The unit beeps when Impression control is
changed.
Note: Standard bond paper stock is
recommended for best quality. Copier paper,
erasable bonds and very heavily textured
bond papers do not print well with
Correctable Film ribbon. For these paper
types, we recommend High Density
Correctable Film or Multi-Strike ribbons. If
typing stencils, use those specifically
designed for daisywheel printers.
Correcting Text
There are two ways to correct typing errors:
off-line and on-line. The half-space feature
can be used for both.
On-Line Correction
The typewriter can automatically correct all
characters in a one-line memory buffer called
the Correction Memory. You can easily
correct characters no longer in Correction
Memory using Off-Line correction. After
correcting an error you can quickly return to
your previous typing position.
Important: Bold and auto underscore must
be activated before correcting characters
having these enhancements.
Correct Key
Use Correct for erasing character(s) in
Correction Memory.
1. Position the print hammer on the incorrect
character and then press Correct. Hold
down Correct to continue correcting, or
press Back Space and then Correct
again until all characters are removed.
2. Type correct text.
3. Press Code + Reloc (Return) if
necessary to relocate. The unit beeps.
Note: You erase Correction Memory when
you turn off the typewriter, press Return ,
change pitch, or use the Half Space feature.
WordEraser
Key
Use WordEraser for erasing word(s) in
Correction Memory.
1. Position the print hammer on any
character in the right most word to be
corrected, and then press WordEraser
once for each word to be erased. If you
press WordEraser while between words,
the word to the left of the space will be
deleted.
2. Type correct text.
3. Press Code + Reloc (Return) if
necessary to relocate. The unit beeps.
Off-Line Correction
To correct an error not in the current line
Correction Memory:
1. Press Code + Up (6) , Down (7), or
Return to position the print hammer on
the line containing the incorrect character.
2. Press Back Space or Spacebar to move
to incorrect character.
3. Press Code + Correct . The unit beeps.
4. With correction cassette installed, retype
the incorrect character to remove it.
5. Type the correct character.
Important: Bold and auto underscore must
be activated before correcting characters
having these enhancements.
Half Space
The Half Space feature is used when making
corrections when you omit a character or
type one too many. When the Half Space
feature is activated, the typing position
moves a half space to the right. Regular
spacing returns when the Half Space feature
is deactivated.
Note: When you activate the Half Space
feature, the Correction Memory is erased.
The typewriter remembers the half spaced
characters until the Half Space feature is
deactivated. Then, the typewriter begins to
remember normal spaced characters again.
Adding a Character
1. Press Correct or WordEraser to
erase error.
2. Press Back Space to position the carrier
one space before the first character of the
erased word.
3. Press Code + Half Space (Spacebar) .
Print hammer advances a half space.
4. Type correct word.
5. Press Code + Half Space (Spacebar) .

Inserting Paper
Note: Your typewriter handles 12” wide
paper and a 9” typing line. Standard bond
paper stock is recommended for best quality.
Copier paper, erasable bonds and very

paper types, we recommend High Density
Correctable Film or Multi-Strike ribbons. If
typing stencils, use those specifically
designed for daisywheel printers.
1. Insert paper securely in the slot behind
the platen (3) against the paper alignment
mark. (For 12” wide paper, center on the
platen area.)
2. Advance
paper by using
the platen
