Dear Mr. Bartel,

We understand that you are in the market for an electronic

typewriter and we would like to take this opportunity to strongly suggest the new AX-10 by Brother. The AX-10 is designed for portable efficiency and is alonel in its class.

Both Pica pitch which types 10 characters per inch, and Elite pitch that types at 12 characters per inch can be selected quickly and easily.

A repeat function lets you print a continuous series of characters by simply holding down a single key

In addition, the following functions are also readily available:

We strongly suggest the Brother AX-10 as the logical choice

for your applications.

Sincerely yours

KEYBOARD COVER

gripping and slightly rotating outward at the two tabs on the left and right. Open the power cord compartment cover at the rear of the typewriter by pressing the two tabs at the top of the cover.

HANDLE

Remove the power cord from the compartment. Close the power cord compartment cover

and insert the plug of the typewriter into a standard AC electrical outlet.

Your compact, lightweight Brother AX-10 comes equipped with a built-in handle that makes carrying your AX-10 easy.

To return the power cord to its compartment, first place the plug inside the compartment and then fold the cord carefully into the compartment.

POWER

Set the power switch located on the left side of the typewriter to the ON position. Whenever power is turned on, the typewriter is automatically set to Pica

pitch, the left margin is set at position 10 and the

right margin is set at position 75. The carrier will

move to the left end of the platen and then return to the left margin setting.

COVER SWITCH

When the cover is lifted (e.g., to replace a daisy wheel), the power to the carriage and daisy wheel motor is

shut off by a cover switch. When the cover is then closed, the carriage moves to the left and then returns

to its original position.

CORRECTION TAPE

Take-up spool

Feed spool

Both lift-off correctable ribbon correction tape and cover-up nylon correction tape are available. The lift-off tape removes the character from the paper and the cover-up tape leaves the character on the paper but covers it with white ink.

CASSETTE RIBBON

To replace the correction tape, first remove the cassette

ribbon and then remove the used correction tape. Insert new correction tape then replace cassette ribbon.

Use the space bar to locate the carrier to the center of

the platen. Open the top cover of the typewriter and hold a new roll of correction tape so the feed spool is in

your left hand and the take-up spool in your right hand. The rough side of the tape should be toward the platen.

To insert a cassette ribbon, turn the ribbon feed knob on the cassette counterclockwise to tighten the ribbon. Then use both hands to slip the back edge of the cassette onto the carrier.

CASSETTE

DAISY WHEEL

Note: Use authorized cassette ribbon and correction tape oniy.

O Faiiure to do so, wiii invaiidate the guarantee.

Pull the green motor lock lever on the carrier toward you.

SETTING

Pass the tape through the space between the paper meter (a) and the ribbon guide (b). Set the tape in the tape guides on the left and right.

Set the ribbon into the ribbon guides and then gently

press the cassette down until it clicks into place.

After setting the feed spool on the left pin and the take-up spool on the right pin, turn the take-up spool counterclockwise until the white tape winds around the take-up spool.

Turn the ribbon feed knob counterclockwise to take up any slack. (To remove the cassette ribbon, simply

reverse this procedure.)

To prevent damage and ensure proper installation, always handle daisy wheels by gripping the clear plastic

tab of the cassette between the thumb and forefinger of your right hand and insert the daisy wheel into the carrier. Make sure that the daisy wheel slips all the way down into place.

Press the motor lock lever toward the platen until it clicks into place. Do not force the lever. If you have difficulty, check again to see that the daisy wheel

is set properly.

PAPER SETTING AND FEED

Lift paper supporter then insert the paper behind the platen.

Turn platen knobs until paper wraps around platen. When the top edge of the paper appears, lift the paper bail scale and continue to turn the platen knob.

When the paper comes between the platen and the

paper bail scale, return the paper bail scale to its

original position. In order to adjust the paper,push the

paper release lever (which loosens the paper) and

make necessary adjustments.

Then return the paper release lever.

When the power of the typewriter is switched ON, the pitch is automatically set to Pica. The pitch selector can be used to switched between Pica and Elite any time the carrier is positioned at the left margin. Note that the upper scale on the paper bail is for Elite while the lower scale is for Pica.

Mr. J. C. Bartel 2345 West Brady Avenue Duluth, Minnesota 12345

Dear Mr , Bartel, We understand that you are in the market for an electronic

typewriter and we would like to cake this opportunity to strongly suggest the new AX-10 by Brother. The AX-10 is designed for portable efficiency and is alone in its class.

Both Pica pitch which types 10 characters per Inch, and Elite pitch that types at 12 characters per inch can be selected quickly and easily.

A repeat function lets you print a continuous series of characters by simply holding down a single key------------

In addition, the following functions are also readily

available:

When the power of the typewriter is switched ON, the left margin is set to position 10 and the right margin

is set to position 75 of Pica pitch. The margin can be freely changed by following the procedures outlined below;

Note: The minimum number of characters between the margins is 20 for Pica pitch, and 24 for Elite pitch.

MARGIN RELEASE

The margin release key is used to move past an existing margin either temporarily for typing or in order to set a new margin. When a presently set margin is reached the carrier will stop. To continue carrier

movement past the margin, press the margin release key.

-We understand that you are in the market--^

LEFT MARGIN

Use the space bar, backspace key and margin release key as required to bring the carrier to the position at which you desire to set the left margin. Then press the L MAR/R MAR key.

REPEAT (SELF REPEAT)

Pressing any key followed by the REPEAT key will continuously repeat the corresponding character or function until the repeat key is released.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Note: The space bar, backspace and correction keys

will repeat their respective functions untii

released, without having to use the repeat key.

BACKSPACE

Press the backspace key to move one space to the left of the current carrier position.

EXPRESS BACKSPACE

Hold down the code key and press the backspace key

to return to the left margin position of the current line.

<f>§

RETURN

Press the return key when you reach the end of a line and want to advance to the beginning of the next line. At this time the paper will be fed the number of lines set with the line space selector. Note that pressing this key also clears the correction memory.

HALF BACKSPACE

This key moves one half space to the left of the current carrier position. The benefit of this key will become evident in the insertion procedure outlined on page 16.

CORRECTION FUNCTIONS

The 40-character correction memory of the AX-10 makes it possible to delete or correct text with the touch of a single key. Manual corrections outside of the memory range are

also clean and quick. A handy half backspace function provides added versatility for easy insertion or deletion of extra letters.

MEMORY CORRECTION

Brather

Br ther

Brother

AA,

Brother

A—

Let’s say you mistyped the word “Brother”.

Use the BACKSPACE key to move the carrier back spaces to the position of the “a".

Now ail you do is press the correction key and the “a” is erased from the page. If you hold the correction key down, the “r”, “B” and all text to the left will continue to be erased until you release the key or you reach the end of

the correction memory range.

Type in the correct letter; in this case the letter “o”.

Finally, pressing the relocate key brings the carrier back to

the position you were at before you began your correction.

MANUAL CORRECTION

Let’s say you mistyped “Brother” again, but, this time, the mistake is on a different line

or in another position outside of the correction memory range.

Brather

Br ther

Brother

In this case, you should first press the return key to clear the contents of the correction memory. Now use the platen knobs, space bar and backspace key as required to bring the carrier to the position of the error (in this case the “a” of “Brather”).

(

Next, hold down the code key and press the correction key. Now,

press the “a” key, and the letter “a” will be erased from the page.

Rnally, press “o” to complete the correction.

)

INSERTION

Often when we get to the end of a typed page we find a word in which we missed a letter or doubled a letter. With the half backspace feature of the AX-10, such mistakes can be corrected while still presenting an overall balanced appearance. The following correction procedures can be performed either using memory correction or manual correction.

As you know, Brther typewriters are

In this case, the letter “o” has been omitted from the word “Brother”, so the simple deletion/correction procedure outlined

on page 15 cannot be done.

Brther

---

------

First of all, delete the entire misspelled word, “Brther” using the manual correction procedures expiained on page 15.

-A

After you make sure that the carrier is at the position where the “B” of “Brther” was located, press the

half backspace key.

Brother

------------> A

As you know, Broother typewriters are

Now we have an example where there are too many letters. Just

deleting and correcting will leave an extra space either before or

after “Brother”, resulting in an unbalanced appearance.

+M+Kfl+ia+H+

Now type in the word “Brother” and you can hardly tell that a correction was made.

)

Broother

-A

Brother

-------------

> A

-A

(

Again, delete the entire misspelled word.

Now locate the carrier at the position where the

second letter (“r”) of “Broother” was located and press the half backspace key.

Finally, type in the word “Brother”.

)

■/

CARE OF UNIT

Do not allow any foreign matter to enter the Interior of the typewriter or get between the keys. Be especially careful of metal objects such as paper clips and staples.

Do not locate your typewriter where it is exposed to direct

sunlight, heat or intense vibration.

Do not block the ventilation slits provided in the back of the unit to protect against the danger of overheating.

Never use volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine to clean the exterior surface of the

typewriter. Use only a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution.

When the typewriter is not in use, be sure to replace the keyboard cover.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If any operational difficulty arises, check below. If the trouble can not be overcome by

following these instructions, then consult your Brother dealer.

Typewriter remains at a standstill with the on-off switch set at ON.

Printing is faint or does not appear.

Correction cannot be made.

Cassette ribbon lifts up and remains up

(this rarely happens).

(1) Make sure the power cord is plugged in. (2) Be sure the top cover is closed.

(1) Be sure daisy wheel is properly set. (2) Check positioning of cassette ribbon. (3) Check to see that the ribbon has not been fully used.

(1) Be sure the correction tape is properly set and passed

through the tape guides.

(2) Check to see that the correction tape has not been fully used. (3) Be sure the correction tape has been properly selected to

match the cassette ribbon.

Turn the power off first. Then turn it on again while holding down the code key and the pitch selector.
