BASIC TYPING
1) Returning the carrier manually
RETURN
EXPR
Regardless of the option selected with [ALT] + [OPERATE], pressing
[RETURN] will always return the carrier. When the auto carrier return
function is off (first option above), pressing [RETURN] is the only way to
return the carrier. Holding down this key will feed the paper repeatedly.
2) Returning the carrier automatically
(SPACEBAR)
UNtX-N
] - o
When the “AUTO” option is selected, the carrier will return automatically
every time,
[SPACE BAR] or [-] (hyphen) is pressed in the hot zone.
Note: When the “L/L’’ option is selected, the auto carrier return function
is always activated. For details about these options, see “DISPLAY
MODE” page 29.
Permanent space
CODE (SPACEBAR)
If you want to type a space in the hot zone without triggering a carrier
return, press [CODE] + [SPACE BAR]. An example of when you would
use [CODE] + [SPACE BAR] would bo when you need to keep two words
on the same line. For instance, April 9,1995. In this example, you would
press
[CODE] + [SPACE BAR] after the comma to prevent the year from
moving to the next line.
Permanent hyphen
UNOLN
n ^ o
For a similar reason, if you want to type a hyphen while in the hot zone
without activating the auto carrier return, press [CODE] + [-] (hyphen).
For example, to type the telephone number 617-238-7098, you would
press
[CODE] + [-] (hyphen) after 238 if this hyphen is in the hot zone.
Backspacing
You may need to move backward along the line you have just typed. This is
called “backspacing”.
