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.
