Mark Using Mark for Preprinted Forms if you have used a typewriter to fill in preprinted forms, you may remember how you had to align the carrier to print in each box. If you had to type the same form many times, this typing job could become time-consuming. The mark function (Shift + Code + M) helps you automatically type preprinted forms. Typing forms is a two-step process: First, you store a layout of the form using the mark function. Second, you play back the form and fill in the blanks. A mark (Shift + Code + M) identifies a point on the form where the text is inserted or needs to print. See the sample form on the next page: • Each M shows where you type a mark. A mark includes an automatic stop code. During playback the typewriter moves to the mark and stops for you to type variable information. Variable information Is text that changes for each form. • Each MC shows where you type a mark and then press the Correction key to erase the automatic stop code. After you erase the stop code, you type the constant information. Constant information is text that is the same for each form. See examples of constant information in the shaded boxes ( ' ).

Mark
Using
Mark
for
Preprinted
Forms
if
you
have
used
a
typewriter
to
fill
in
preprinted
forms,
you
may
remember
how
you
had
to
align
the
carrier
to
print
in
each
box.
If
you
had
to
type
the
same
form
many
times,
this
typing
job
could
become
time-consuming.
The
mark
function
(Shift
+
Code
+
M)
helps
you
automatically
type
preprinted
forms.
Typing
forms
is
a
two-step
process:
First,
you
store
a
layout
of
the
form
using
the
mark
function.
Second,
you
play
back
the
form
and
fill
in
the
blanks.
A
mark
(Shift
+
Code
+
M)
identifies
a
point
on
the
form
where
the
text
is
inserted
or
needs
to
print.
See
the
sample
form
on
the
next
page:
Each
M
shows
where
you
type
a
mark.
A
mark
includes
an
auto-
matic
stop
code.
During
playback
the
typewriter
moves
to
the
mark
and
stops
for
you
to
type
variable
information.
Variable
information
Is
text
that
changes
for
each
form.
Each
MC
shows
where
you
type
a
mark
and
then
press
the
Correction
key
to
erase
the
automatic
stop
code.
After
you
erase
the
stop
code,
you
type
the
constant
information.
Constant
infor-
mation
is
text
that
is
the
same
for
each
form.
See
examples
of
constant
information
in
the
shaded
boxes
