Margin/Pitch Scale The typewriter has three margin scales: 10A, 124, arid 1611. When typing, use the scale line that matches the pitch symbol on your printwheel. • For 10A pitch (pica) type, use the upper scale. • For 12.6 and PS Ili pitch (elite and proportional spacing} type, use the middle scale. • For 15M pitch (micro elite) type, use the lower scale. An orange pointer moves along the scale on your typewriter to show the position of the next character to print. The margin/pitch scale also contains centering marks. When the left edge of the paper lines up with zero on the margin/pitch scale: • marks the approximate center of paper 215.90 mm (8.50 in) wide. I marks the approximate center of paper 210 mm (8.27 in) wide.
