Basic Typing
Status Indicators
Before you start typing, you will probably want to set up your typewriter with the correct
margins, tabs, line spacing and typing pitch, so that the layout of your document is correct
when you print it. You may also wish to switch on (or ofif) text attributes such as bold,
underline and expanded printing.
Before you can change any of the items above, you need to know what the current settings
are, The most frequently used status indicators are shown permanently on the top line
of the display, for example:
FIND SHFT CNT BLD EXP PUT
Sf 9 “ O-J
<>
The others status indicators can be displayed by pressing the [ALT] key, when the
following display will appear
P X N1-' bHi" r UNT b'LD LXP UU1 bP KB i
PI i UM = 1U L = bP “ 1 ■> U HZ s !"■ FUT = 'I
INPsil
Don’t worry if the display is not exactly like the examples shown above, since the actual
indications will depend on how the machine is set up. Some of the indications may be
different from those shown in the above example, and some of the indications on the top
line of the display may be blank, indicating that a function is turned off.
Each of the above indicators shows the current status of a text attribute such as bold and
underline, and layout or format attributes, for example typing pitch and line spacing. At
this stage you probably won't know what many of these indicators mean. A brief glossary
is given in the table below, and all the functions will be explained in detail later.
If no indication appears in a particular position in the display, the function is turned off apart
from the typing mode, where no display means normal typing mode.
Changing Settings
Those functions permanently shown on the top line of the display (apart from [SHIFTj
and [SHIFT LOCK]) are changed by holding down the [CODE] key and pressing the key
for the function to be changed, Some of these functions are simply toggled on or off each
