Under

to be
used,
but
it
may
be
operated
without
removing

Setting
Paper
Fingers
The
Paper
Fingers
may
be
moved
to
the
right
or
left
by
merely
sliding.
There
is
enough
spring
in
them
to
permit of
lifting
when
it
is
necessary
to
move
them
with
paper
in
the
machine.
It
will
be
found
that
the
easiest
way
to
move
the
Paper
Fingers,
is to
extend
the
carriage
until
the
finger
to
be
moved
is
well
exposed
and
then
slide
it
by
pressing
against
the
lower
portion.
It
is
advis-
able
to
set
fingers
to
width
of
paper
before
inserting
letter.
Inserting
Paper
Slip
paper
between
Platen
and
Paper
Table,
and
while
holding
down
firmly,
give
the
Platen
Knob
a
twirl.
In
order
to
facilitate
the
inserting
of
all
paper
in
exactly
the
same
position,
a
paper
guide
is
provided
on
the
Margin
Release
Lever.
By
pressing
this
lever
toward
you
with
left
hand,
it
is
brought
into
a
position
where
it
acts
as
a
guide
for
the
left
edge
of
the
paper.
Thus
uniform
margins
on a
manuscript
or
long
letter
may
be
maintained
without
resetting
the
margin
stop.
