Centering
Your typewriter allows you to type three different kinds of centered text:
-centered between the margins.
-centered between adjacent tabs.
-centered around the current position of the carrier.
Centering Between Margins
To type text centered between margins:
1. Return the carrier to the left margin.
2.
Hold down the [CODE] key and press the [CTR] key. The message -¿3CEHTERIH0
will appear on the top line ofthe display, and the carrier will move to a position midway
between the left and right margins and place the machine in the centering mode.
3. Type in your text. When you type, the characters will not be printed on the page, but
will appear on the display, and the carrier will move half a space to the left for every
character and space you type. In the expand mode the carrier moves one full space
to the left for every character and space you type.
4. When you have finished typing the line, press the [RETURN] key to printthe line and
perform a carrier return. After printing, the machine will leave the centering mode.
5. Centering can also be selected by pressingthe MENU key, pressing [1 ] to select CTR/
RMF and pressing [1] again to select CTR.
Centering Between Tabs
Centering between tabs allows you to create tables in which the items in a column are
aligned centrally above one another, instead of left-aligned, right aligned, or decimal
aligned.
To center between tabs:
1. Use the [TAB] key to move the carrier to a tab position.
2. Hold down the [CODE] key and press the [CTR] key, or select centering using the
[MENU] key.
3. Type in the text as before.
4. Press [TAB] to print the text and move to the next tab, or [RETURN] to print the
text and perform a carrier return. The text will be centered about a point midway
between the tab and the next tab to the right.
