OLYMPIA
ELECTRONIC
COMPACT
SECTION
Ill - OPERATION
USE
AS
A
TYPEWRITER
While
the
Electronic Compact
is
now
ready
for
use
as
a
typewriter,
there
are some
keys
that
provide
special
functions
which should be reviewed
prior
to
actually
operating
the
unit.
On
the
left
side
of
the
space
bar
is
a key marked
Half
Space,
and
as
the
term
implies
use
of
this key
causes
the
carriage
to
move
right
one
half
space instead
of
a
full
space.
On
the
right
side
of
the
space
bar
is
a key labeled Express. The Express key causes
the
carriage
to
be
returned
to
the
left
margin,
but
does
not
cause
the
paper
to
be
indexed (advanced).
At
the
right
of
the
keyboard
is
a special key pad
containing
several special
function
keys. The key marked
RELOC
(2nd key
from
the
top
right
hand
side)
is
used
after
making
a correction
which
involved
backspacing several characters.
When
the
RELOC
key
is
struck
it
returns
the
carriage
to
return
to
its last
position
prior
to
entering
a correction mode.
The
other
special
function
keys such
as
the
Correction Key,
Margin
Release,
and
Tab
Clear are very similar
to
those
on
a
Memorywriter
so
will
not
be covered specifically
at
this
time.
It
is
of
interest
to
note
that
the
Carriage Position
Indicator
lights
to
provide
the
operator
with
a clearly visible means
of
monitoring
the
carriage posit.ion
at
all
times.
If
you have an
operational
Electronic Compact available, install
it
at
this
time
following
the
directions given in this module.
After
installation,
type
several lines
of
text
and make some corrections using
the
correction and
RELOC
keys.
USE
AS
A
SLAVE
PRINTER
In
order
to
use
the
Electronic Compact
as
a slave
printer
it
must be
equipped
with
the
080
Serial
Printer
Interface.
While
many
units
already have this interface,
there
are also a
great
number
that
do
not.
As
a result, you may be asked by
the
customer
to
install
the
interface
which
they
will
obtain
and
bring
to
you
along
with
the
Electronic Compact.
If
you
are
completing
this
training
program
with
an Electronic Compact
that
has
the
080
Interface already installed, proceed
to
the
heading
"SLAVE
PRINTER
OPERATION" on Page 1-8.
If
you are
completing
this
training
program
with
a
unit
that
is
to
have
the
080
Interface installed, proceed
with
the
instructions in
the
next
heading
"OLYMPIA
080
INTERFACE
INSTALLATION". In
the
event
that
you are
completing
this
program
with
an Electronic Compact
that
does
not
have
the
080
Interface installed, and
it
is
not
to
be installed
at
this
time
read
the
rest
of
this
module
for
information
purposes.
