Setting the Line Format
Notes!
1. When a tab is to be set in the same position as a decimal tab (see below), the decimal
tab in that position will be changed to a normal tab when [T SET] is pressed.
2. Tab positions are set according to the absolute position of the carrier (in units of 1/
120 in.) based on the left edge, so they do not change even when the margins or pitch
have been changed,
3. A maximum of 30 tabs, including decimal tabs, can be set on your typewriter
Decimal Tabs
This function allows you to type columns of numbers aligned on a decimal point, or on the
space after the last digit in the case of numbers that do not have a fractional component
(integers).
If you have text that needs to be right-aligned to a tab instead of left-aligned (i.e. aligned
on the last letter of the text instead of the firsts letter), you can use a decimal tab for this
purpose.
To set a decimal tab:
1. Move the carrier to the position at which a decimal tab is required.
2. Hold down [CODE] and press the DECIMAL TAB SET key- [DT SET] .To move the
carrier to the decimal tab stop, press [TAB],
Notes!
1. When a decimal tab is set in the same position as a normal tab, the normal tab in that
position will be changed to a decimal tab when [CODE] + [DT SET] are pressed.
2.
Decimal tab positions are set accordingto the absolute position of the carrier (in units
of i / 1 2 0 in.) based on the left edge, so they do not change even when the margins
or pitch have been changed,
3. A maximum of 30 decimal tabs, including normal tabs, can be set on your Lypewriter.
Using Decimal Tabs
Typing text at a decimal tab is different from typing at a normal tab. Since text at a decimal
tab is aligned on the decimal point or the space after an integer number, your typewriter
needs to know where this appears before it can print the text.
When you use the [TAB] key to move to a decimal tab stop, the message:
¿iDECIMfiL TPiE will appear on the top line of the display.
