Carrier Movement to Assist when setting Margins and Tabs

along the paper to determine positioning. This
is
particularly useful when settings tabs to
accommodate a form.

1.
Select
YES
to Change Margins and
Tabs.
The CURSOR moves to the typing line at the top
of the screen.
2.
Depress and
HOLD
the CODE
KEY
while depressing the
"C" KEY
(The Cursor is located on
the typing scale.).
3. If
you are determining position on a certain form, insert the form in your typewriter.
4.
The typewriter carrier will move as you depress the Cursor
Keys.
Set margins and tabs
when positions are determined.
