2. Display mode
In this mode, the characters you type are shown on the display before printing.
They will only be printed after you complete the line, in this mode, corrections
are very easy. Since the text is displayed before printing, you may freely correct
the text directly on the display.
This mode is automatically selected when you reach a decimal tab, or when you
choose to print a line in centering or you choose the right margin flush feature.
This is because the machine needs to know the entire contents of the line to be
able to print it at the correct position on the paper. After the line is printed, the
machine returns automatically to the printing mode.
You may also choose to work in display mode in order to enjoy the correction
possibilities it affords. In that case, activate the line-by-line function. The line-
by-line function will display your text until you finish typing the whole line. The
line is then printed, and you may type the next line. At the certain point, you may
want to check the current typing pitch or line spacing etc. Just press [CODE]
[ALTl to display the status indication in the display mode.
