Selecting Typing Mode
The Hot Zone
S +
The hot zone is an area that begins before the right margin and extends up to the right
margin. You can set the start of the hot zone to be between 3 and 12 characters before
the right margin. This is independent of the typing pitch, so if you set the hot zone to 5
characters in 10 pitch, it will still be 5 characters if you change to 15 pitch.
The hot zone helps you to keep your typed lines neatly within the margins by giving you
a warning when you are getting close to the right margin. When the carrier enters the hot
zone, the beeper will sound. You then have the remainder of the hot zone in which to
finish off your line by ending a word and pressing
[RETURN],
or by splitting a word with
a hyphen and pressing
[RETURN].
If you do not press
[RETURN]
before the right margin
is reached, the carrier will lock and no further typing is possible until either
[RETURN]
or
[CODE] + [M REL]
is pressed.
If the word you are currently typing cannot be hyphenated and is too long to fit on the
line, you may wish to delete the portion of it you have already typed by pressing the
WORD OUT
key
Alternatively, you can release the right margin by holding down
[CODE]
and pressing the
mar;gin release key
[M REL],
in order to fit the word on the line. Of course, the word will
then extend beyond the right margin.
The hot zone is set by pressing
[ALT] + [HZ SET].
This is described in more detail in the
section on setting the line format.
The default setting of the hot zone is 6.
Automatic Carrier Return
Automatic carrier retum saves you having to press the
[RETURN]
key every time you
reach the end of a line. This function works by automatically performing a camier returning
whenever you end a word by pressing
[SPACE]
or split a word by pressing the hyphen
key while the carrier is in the hot zone. The carrier will also return if you press the
[RETURN]
key at any time.
To turn on the automatic carrier retum mode, hold down the
[ALT]
key and press the
[OPERATE]
key until the typing mode indication changes to
FlUT.
