DISPLAY

MODE

The

display

mode

stands

halfway

between

the

typewriter

and

word

processor

modes.

In

this

mode,

characters

are

displayed

before

they

are

printed,

allowing

you

to

view

and

correct

your

text

on

the

display

before

it

is

typed.

The

display

mode

is

automatically

selected

when

using

the

decimal

tab,

centering,

right

margin

fl

ush

and

justification

functions.

Each

of

these

functions

require

that

the

line

be

completely

typed

before

printing

(so

that

the

carrier

may

be

positioned

prior

to

printing,

which

requires

that

the

length

of

the

line

and

its

start

position

on

the

page

be

determined

before

typing).

You

can,

however,

take

advantage

of

the

conveniences

of

this

mode

even

though

not

utilizing

any

of

the

above

functions

by

selecting

L/L

(line

by

line)

processing

(covered

below).

Pressing

the

OPERATE

key

switches

modes

in

Normal-Auto-L/L-Just

sequence.

All

but

the

normal

modes

will

be

indicated

on

the

display.

Notes:

1.

Formatting

functions,

i.e.,

the

setting

of

tabs

and

margins,

etc.,

may

not

be

entered

in

this

mode;

you

must

switch

back

temporarily

to

the

printing

mode.

2.

The

M

REL

and

CODE

+

BS1

keys

may

not

be

used

in

the

display

mode.

Line

by

Line

Processing

Press

the

OPERATE

key

until

"L/L"

appears

on

the

status

line

to

place

your

typewriter

in

the

line

by

line

mode.

The

cursor

will

position

itself

to

the

left.

Type

your

text.

It

will

be

shown

on

the

display,

and

the

carrier

will

move

for

each

character

entered.

Characters

are

not

printed

right

away,

so

that

entries

can

be

edited

before

printing.

Pressing

the

TAB,

RETURN,

CODE

+

L

IND/P

IND

or

PAGE

keys

will

print

the

text

and

perform

the

function

of

the

key

pressed.

As

your

typewriter

is

still

in

the

auto

mode,

a

space

entered

into

the

hot

zone

will

also

cause

the

line

to

be

printed

and

the

carrier

to

return;

if

a

hyphen

is

entered,

the

next

character

entered

will

be

printed

on

the

left

end

of

the

display

after

the

line

has

been

typed.

The

line

by

line

mode

may

be

canceled

and

your

typewriter

placed

in

the

justification

mode

by

pressing

the

OPERATE

key

once

again.
