If you try to move the carrier past a margin, a beep is heard and the carrier does
not move. After you have set your margins, you may sometimes find it
necessary to type outside these margins. You may also need to move the carrier
past a margin to reset the margin.
To move the carrier past a margin, press [ALT] + [M REL] (3).
1) To move to the left of the left margin, backspace to the left margin, press
[ALT] + [M REL] (3) and then continue to backspace.
2) To move past the right margin, hold [SPACE BAR] until the carrier reaches
the right margin. Press [ALT] + [M REL] (3), then continue spacing using
[SPACE BAR].
You may not move past the right margin with [SPACE BAR] if the auto
carrier return function is activated. To turn this function off, see
“Returning the carrier^’ page 17.
The shortest possible distance between the left and right margins is two
inches (20 characters in Pica pitch, 24 characters in Elite pitch, and 30
characters in Micron pitch.)

are set, pressing [TAB] automatically moves the carrier to the next tab so that
you can easily type your data in perfectly aligned columns.
