Brother EM-430 - Manual (Page 16)

Basic Typing Functions
Hold down the [CODE] key and press the [EXPR] key, or simply press the [RETURN]
key to move the carrierto the left margin position. If you press the [RETURN] key, the
paper will advance according to the line spacing.
Notes:
1. The paper is automatically fed approximately I inch from the top edge of the paper.
2. For even more precise settings, you can also move the paper up or down half a line
at a time with the [INDEX] and [R INDEX] keys.
3. If the paper is crooked or not properly aligned after automatic insertion, it may be
adjusted manually. First turn the platen or use the
[INDEX]
key to feed more paper
through, then pull the paper release lever forward. This will lift the paper bail and
release the paper so that it may be moved manually. Align the paper until it is straight,
then return the paper release lever to its back position and turn the platen knob or
use the
[INDEX]
and
[R INDEX]
keys to return the paper to the position where
you wish to begin typing. For finer adjustment, use these keys with the [CODE] key
held down.
Manual Paper Insertion
You may need to use the manual method for unusual settings or for when you need to
make a precise alignment in the middle of a document.
First insert the sheet of paper into the slot behind the paper rest while keeping the left edge
of the paper in line with the paper guide. Set the paper release lever in its back position.
Use both hands and try to keep the sheet as straight as possible.
Pull the paper bail I ever forward to raise the paper bail and avoid it catching on the paper.
Then turn the platen knob until the top edge of the paper is brought underthe paper bail
to the position desired, and release the paper bail lever. If the sheet is not straight, set the
paper release lever to its forward position and straighten the sheet with both hands.
Return the paper release leverto its back position and turn the platen knob until the sheet
comes out to the desired position.
