moves the carrier one space to the left. Hold the key down

for quick movement to the left.

NOTES:

When the text is displayed, ШюшшШ deletes the character to the left.

If the carrier is positioned in the middle of a character (see “Fractional Back­

space'' next), pressing ШШШШШ moves the carrier to the beginning of the
current character.

If

is pressed when the carrier is on the left margin or on the left

end, the typewriter beeps. Pressing

I СОРЯ + ИШШ allows the carrier to go

beyond the left margin.

create “0". Type the first character, press

second character. This will not work, however, when the text is displayed.

moves the carrier back by 1/60 inch and allows you to precisely

position the carrier for corrections when you have to reinsert your draft or when

you want to correct a previous line with uneven spaces between words. This key

is also useful to line up your carrier exactly on a point on a preprinted form. The

following table relates the 1/60 inch backspace with the selected pitch. You can
also use this function to type Roman numerals (which need unusually small
spaces between characters).
