Entry Assist
End-of-Line Signal
For the end-of-line signal to work, the audible alarm feature must be turned on. When the
end-of-line signal is set, the display station sounds the audible alarm as the cursor enters
the selected column position. This function can be used to warn of the approach of the
right bell on a typewriter.
To set the end-of-line signal, place the format scale cursor in the desired position
and press the Asterisk (*) key. An asterisk is displayed in the selected position. The
end-of-line signal function is enabled and remains in effect during Document mode
until the asterisk is removed.
To disable the end-of-line signal function, place the cursor over the asterisk and press the
Delete Character key ( ) (Delete on the 102-key keyboard). The asterisk is removed
and the function is disabled. If a tab stop is located at the end-of-line signal position,
removing the asterisk also removes the tab stop.
The Format Scale Origin
The format scale numbers can be shifted so that the scale begins with Position 1 instead
of Position 0. Tab stops, margins, and end-of-line signal positions are not shifted with
respect to the screen when the scale numbers are shifted.
To change the scale origin, place the format scale cursor at the leftmost position on the
scale and press the Cursor Select key. The numbers on the line are shifted one space to
the left. Pressing Cursor Select again returns the origin to 0.
Cursor Movement and Editing Functions
Cursor movement and editing functions are active whenever the display station is in
Document mode. These functions are subject to the limitations imposed by the format
parameters currently set on the format scale.

• Autorepeat cursor movement to previous word
