Normal (left-aligned) tabs are set by moving the carrierto the position at which
atab is required and pressingthe
[T SET]
key. To use the tab stop, pressthe
[TAB]
key, and the carrier will move to the tab position automatically.
Notes:
1. When atab 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 the
[T SET]
key is pressed.
2.
Tab positions are set according to the absolute position of the carrier (in units
of 1/60 in.) based on the left edge, so they do not change even when the
margins or pitch have been changed.
3. A maximum of 24 tabs, including decimal tabs, can be set on your typewriter.
