Storage Helpful Hints While Storing a Job • Always wait until the Store light comes on solid before you begin typing your job. • Always remember to close storage (press Store) after storing a job. • Use the Correction key to erase unwanted tabs, carrier returns, and spaces. • Always turn Underlining oil before pressing Store to end a job. Storing a Job with Underlining I • Always store the underlines while you are typing and storing the job. if a job is stored with Underline olf and is played back with Underline on. the underlines in the job may not play back as desired. • Always turn Underlining off before pressing Store td end a job. Correcting Errors with Storage Open • Do not attempt to erase farther back than approximately 200 char- acters (100 in PS). • If the Correction key backspaces but does not erase: 1. Press Store + the number, then press Play. 2. Stop playback when the incorrect character prints. Do not play back beyond the incorrect character. 3. Press the Correction key. '4 • • Whenever possible, make corrections by using the Correction key to erase back from the point where you stopped typing or playing back. Two types of corrections must be made by using the Correction key to erase back from where you stopped typing or playing back: 1. Erasing extra characters or words. (Otherwise, spaces play back where the extra characters or words were erased.) 2. Correcting words in PS. (Otherwise, playback with Automatic Carrier Return on may not be satisfactory. Spaces following the corrected words may not change to carrier returns near the right margin.) Many other corrections may be made without using the Correction key to erase back from the point where you stopped typing or playing back. However, after making the correction, you must reposition the carrier at the point where you stopped typing or playing back. Otherwise, when you continue typing or playing back, you may create overstrikes on your paper and in storage. While Playing Back a Stored Job When complex jobs are stored in PS and played back in 10, 12. or 15 pitch, they may not play back exactly as you typed them. For example, characters and underlines may not be spaced properly. 3-22 Operator's Guide Storage 3-23
