Basic Typing
Important Notes!
1. Forconcisenfiss, once the function ofalcey has been explained, we shall use the symbol
for the function, for example [BKSP] for BACKSPACE. When referring to the
secondary function ofthe key, we shall use the symbol for the secondary function, for
example [BS I ] for MICRO BACKSPACE. When referringto functions used with the
[CODE] or [ALT] keys, we shall say “press [CODE] + [BS I]’’ to mean “hold down
the [CODE] key, then press the [BS I] key", for example.
2.
When the flashing cursor symbol is over a character, the display alternates between
the cursor and the character, e.g. ® ^ E —^ As it is not possible to show
this alternation in the diagrams, the cursor symbol will, in general, be shown instead
ofthe character, except where it is more important to see the text.
Typewriter Operation
When using your typewriter in TW mode, you can use it like an ordinary typewriter, with
each character being printed as it is typed. Alternatively, you can type a line of text on the
display, and only print it after you have checked and corrected it. In this section we will
look at these different modes of operation, but first, you need to select typewriter mode.

The number in the top right-hand comer of the display tells you how many characters
remain between the current carriage position and the right margin. It will decrement by
one for every space that the carriage moves to the right, and is useful for setting tabs as
well as telling you how many characters remain on the current line.
