Corrections
The typewriter can automatically correct all characters in a one-line
memory buffer. You can easily correct characters not in the correction
memory buffer by performing an extra step (see “Off-Line Correction”).
If End of Page is activated, remember to use Index Up/Index Down,
Return, Back Space, and Spacebar when positioning the print hammer to
make a correction. If you use the platen knob, the line count may be
inaccurate.
IMPORTANT: If you changed printwheels, be sure to insert the
proper printwheel before making corrections.
IMPORTANT: When correcting Bold or Underscore characters, you
must reactivate Bold and/or Underscore before
turning on the correction feature or correction will
not occur.
Erasing Character(s) in Correction Memory
1. Position the print hammer on the incorrect character, then press
Correct. Hold down to continue erasing characters to the left. Do not
use the platen knob to position the print hammer.
2. Type the correction.
3. Press Code + Reloc (Return) to quickly return to your previous
typing position, if necessary.
NOTE: You erase correction memory when you press Return,
turn off the typewriter, use Automatic Paper Insert,
switch modes, or change pitch.
