Cursor

The cursor appears on the display in all modes. In Type Mode, it is

displayed as a rectangular box ( ), and in Line and Mem Modes, as a

dash (_ ).

The cursor indicates where the next character will be entered. In Type

Mode, this will be on the paper, but in Line and Mem Modes, it will be

on the display. For reference, the cursor’s numeric position is indicated

on the top right-hand corner of the display in all modes.

Volume Control

You can adjust the volume of the beeps heard from your unit by pressing

and holding Code while pressing V. The display prompts:

Volume #

(# lists a volume level from 0 through 10)

Volume has been set on medium at the factory. When you set the volume

level to 0, no beeps will be heard. When you change the volume level,

the new setting you select is stored unless you select 0. If the unit is

turned off when the value is set at 0 , the volume level will be reset to

medium when it is turned on again.

Automatic Paper Insert

NOTE: Your typewriter easily handles 12” wide paper and a 9”

typing line. Standard bond paper stock is recommended

for best quality. Copier paper, erasable bonds and very

heavy 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.

1. Insert paper securely in the slot behind the platen (9) against the paper

alignment mark (8). (For 12” wide paper, center on the platen area.)

2. Press Code + Left Shift/Paper In. Paper automatically advances to

approximately one inch from the top of the page.

3. Advance the paper more, if necessary, by pressing Return.

4. Push the paper release lever (5) back, and straighten the paper, if

necessary. Return the lever to its original position.
