About your Typewriter

Your Brother typewriter is actually two machines in one. It’s a powerful typewriter with all the features you expect from a Brother machine, There’s also a display typing mode that allows you to see each line of text and comect it before printing. Your typewriter is also a wordprocessor that allows you to create and edit entire documents before printing them. You can switch between wordprocessing and ordinary typing at the push of a button, so if you are in the middle of wordprocessing a document and need to type a short memo or address an envelope, it's no problem. Just switch to typewriter mode, do your typing, and switch straight back to your wordprocessor document at the point where you

left off

There’s also a form typing mode that makes it easy to fill in pre-printed forms, and the file

management feature allows you to organize your wordprocessor documents.

About This User Guide

This guide is divided into five main sections. These describe, getting started, typewriter operation, wordprocessor operation, form typing and file management. These sections are identified by the words GETTING STARTED, TW, WP, FORM TYPING or FILE

MANAGEMENT at the edge of each page.

Because your machine can work as a typewriter or as a wordprocessor, some features

described in the typewriter section are applicable to the wordprocessor, and vice versa. These sections have TW/WP at the edge of the each page.

Setting Up Your Typewriter

Setting up the Typewriter

This section tells you how to set up your typewriter for typing. If you didn't remove the yellow packing pieces and fit the paper supporter when you unpacked the typewriter, now is the time to do it before you attempt to power up the machine.

Paper Supporter

The paper supporter is used to check and adjust the position of the paper,

Attach the paper supporter by inserting the tabs into the holes provided on the top of the typewriter.

The sliding paper guide can be used to adjust the position of the left edge of the paper, relative to the extreme left position of the print carrier, which is indicated by the ‘O' mark on the embossed scale.

Support arm

The support arm can be folded out to provide additional support to long sheets of paper.

Setting Up Your Typewriter

Note;

Should you need to move your typewriter, we suggest that you remove the paper

supporter first to avoid the risk of damage.

Acoustic Cover

The acoustic cover suppresses the noise created by the typing carrier and prevents dust from entering the typewriter. Electronic typewriters really dislike dust, so make sure that the acoustic cover of your typewriter is always closed.

Margin scale

The margin scale is embossed on the acoustic cover. It shows the three pitch scales (for

10, 12 and 15 characters per inch), the left and right margins, the tab stop positions and

the position of the carrier.

Glare Screen

The glare screen can be adjusted to shade the acoustic cover in orderto reduce reflections.

Setting Up Your Typewriter

Top Cover

Opening the top cover

In order to insert a new cassette daisywheel, cassette ribbon or spool of correction tape, first place the top cover ofthe typewriter to the upright position. Do this by placing both hands on either end of the cover and lifting it upwards until it stands by itself.

1. The keyboard locks up when the cover is raised, and typing is not possible until it is closed again,

2. Opening the top cover has no effect on margin settings, tab settings or the correction memory, all of which are retained without change.

3. While the cover is open, the message;

^CuUEK UHbh

will appear in the display.

Closing the top cover

After inserting the cassette daisy wheel, cassette ribbon or spool of correction tape, close the top cover by replacing itto its original position. Ensure that it is firmly in place afterclosing.

Note:

If the top cover is closed with the unit switched ON, the carrier will automatically travel to the left edge, then return to its previous position.

Setting Up Your Typewriter

Cassette Daisy Wheel

Brother's slip-in, slip-out cassette daisywheels are known the world overfortheir beautiful

true letter quality type print Here’s your chance to discover it for yourself

Your typewriter comes with a cassette daisy wheel already installed. You may, at some point, wish to exchange it for one with a different typeface, onto place a new one in. With

the Brother typewriter, this is a very simple task.

Removing the cassette daisy wheel

To remove the cassette daisy wheel, pull the locking lever towards you to release it, then grasp the ‘ear of the cassette daisywheel between your thumb and forefingerand simply pull it out

Note;

The cassette ribbon need not be removed in order to remove the cassette daisy wheel.

Setting Up Your Typewriter

Inserting the new cassette daisy wheel

Grasping the 'ear' of the new cassette daisy wheel, slip it into the cassette guide slot and slide it in as far as it will go.

Now press the locking lever back toward the platen until it clicks into place. Do not force

the lever. If you have any difficulty, recheck the cassette daisy wheel to ensure that it is

properly set and try again.

Notes:

1. Be sure that the ‘ear’ ofthe cassette daisywheel is to the right during insertion. Putting it in backwards can damage both the cassette daisy wheel and the motor mechanism.

2. If the cassette daisy wheel is not properly locked into position, characters will not be properly typed.

3. There is a wide selection of Brother cassette daisy wheels available.

Cassette Ribbon

The wide range of Brother cassette ribbons available have two unique features in common: they are clean and troublefree. Clean means that the ink goes where it is supposed to go,

2. Brother cassette ribbons are available in four different types:

Correctable film ribbon (standard w^ith this model)

One-time film ribbon

Multistrike film ribbon

Nylon ribbon

The correctable film ribbon is also available in red, blue, green and brown.

Correction Tape

The correction tape guarantees afaultless document every time. What's more, the bottom

of yourtypewriter will never be full of pieces of old correction paper and lumps of dried up correction fluid!

Removing the old correction tape

If you need to replace the correction tape, first make sure that the carrier is in the center of the platen by using the [SPACEBAR] or [BKSP] key. Then remove the cassette ribbon.

Now just pull out the left and right spools of the old correction tape from the carrier.

Switching The Machine On And Off

Before switching on for the first time, check that there is no floppy disk in the disk drive on the right-hand side of the machine, as this can complicate matters, if there is a disk in

the drive, press the rectangular button to eject it.

Use of the disk drive will be discussed later.

The power switch is located on the left hand side of the machine near the back. To switch on, press the side of the switch marked 1 - ON so that the red bar on the switch is visible. To switch off, press the side of the switch marked O - OFF.

When you first switch on yourtypewriter, the machine will initialize itself The carrier will move to the extreme left position, then to the left margin, and the daisywheel will rotate,

then stop. During this time the display will show the message;

■v

_____________________________________________________

This gives you the four operating options of your typewriter

You can select these options in one of two ways;

1. Usethe leftand right cursor keys — and to move the rectangularcursorsymbol

(1) to the option you wish to choose. Then press the [RETURN] key to confirm the

selection.

2. Use the shortcut of pressing the number key corresponding to the option you wish

to select. There is no need to press the [RETURN] key after pressing the number key, the machine will go straight into the option you selected.

The 4— and —^ keys can be used in almost all operations of the machine, for selecting

options and moving left and right across the display.

Setting Up Your Typewriter

You will probably wantto use cursor selection until you become familiar with the machine,

to reduce the possibility of mistakes, but for conciseness we shall always refer to selection

by number.

Selecting TW lets your machine operate as a normal typewriter, but w'lth the useful option oftyping each line oftext on the liquid crystal display screen, for correction before printing.

WP is the wordprocessor mode. When you select the word processor mode, the text you

type will be displayed on the liquid crystal screen, and you can correct mistakes, insert and delete words, and perform many other editingfunctions, to make sure that yourdocument

is perfect before you actually print it on paper.

You can also save your documents as files on the floppy disk and recall them at any later time.

F TYPE selects the Form Typing mode, which you will find a great time-saver if you

frequently have to ПН in pre-pririted forms. Once you have set up the typewriter for a

particular form, you will be able to type in the blank spaces on the form and, when you have finished typing in one space, the printing carrier will automatically move to the beginning of the next space.

FILE MANAGEMENT is the mode you will select when you want to carry out operations

on the document files you have stored on a floppy disk, such as copying, renaming, deleting and so on.

It's easy to switch between the various operating modes of your typewriter. If you are in

WP, F TYPE or FILE MANAGEMENT mode, and need to do some quick typing such as

a short memo or envelope, you can simply press the [TYPE] key to jump into TW mode, After doing your typing, press the [TYPE] key again to jump back to what you were doing at the point where you left off.

If you are in TW, WP, F TYPE or FILE MANAGEMENT mode, and want to quit it completely and select another mode, simply press the [FILE] key. This will allow you to save your work, then return you to the MAIN MENU, from which you can select a different option.

Loading Paper

After switching on the machine, you are ready to insert a sheet of paper and set up your typewriter ready for typing.

Setting Up Your Typewriter

Automatic Paper Insertion

Inserting a sheet of paper into a typewriter has never been simpler just three easy steps and you’re off! Most types of smootl i finish paper can be used with your typewriter. Rag content and other types of rough paper, however, are not recommended.

First, ensure that the power switch is ON, and that the PAPER RELEASE LEVER is set to

the back position.

Place the paper guide in the desired position, then, holdingthe sheet as straight as possible.

Now press [P INS]. The carrier will first move to the left end of the platen and then back

to the center of the margin scale, the paper bail will lift, and the platen will rotate to feed

in the sheet of oaoer automatically.

Setting Up Your Typewriter

Afterthe paper has been inserted, press[RETURN]to move the carrier to the left margin position. When you are in normal typing mode, you will be prompted to do this.

PRESS RTN-

S’^U Yr'L MUL'-L,

Notes!

The distance the paper is fed in will determine the position of the first typing line in

relation to the top edge of the paper (the top margin). You can adjust this using the

START SET function, as described later. The factory setting of the top margin is one

inch.

If the paper is crooked or not properly aligned after automatic insertion, it may be adjusted manually. First turn the platen or use [INDEX] to feed more paper through,

then pull the paper release leverfoiw/ard. This will liftthe paper bail and release the paper

so that it may be moved manually. Align the paper until it is straight, then return the paper release lever to its back position and turn the platen knob or use [INDEX] and

[R INDEX] to return the paper to the position where you wish to begin typing. For

finer adjustment, use these keys with the [CODE] key held down.

Manual Paper Adjustment

If the paper is crooked or not properly aligned after automatic insertion, it may be adjusted

manually. First pull the paper bail lever forward to raise the paper bail and avoid it catching

on the paper. Turn the platen knob or use [INDEX] to feed more paper through, then

pull the paper release lever forward. This will liftthe paper bail and release the paper so that

it may be moved manually. Align the paper until It is straight, then return the paper release

lever to its back position and turn the platen knob or use [INDEX] and [R INDEX] to

return the paper to the position where you wish to begin typing. For finer adjustment, use these keys with the [CODE] key held down.

Setting Up Your Typewriter

Paper Thickness Control

The paper thickness control is located on the right side of the cassette ribbon table.

The lever is normally pushed right down in its standard position. Pulling up the lever

increases the space between the carrier print head and the platen, thus enabling you to

Self-Demonstration

Your typewriter has a built-in self demonstration that tells you about the many advanced features of your machine.

Setting Up Your Typewriter

To activate the self-demonstration:

1, Make sure that your machine is sv/itched on, with a daisy wheel and cassette ribbon

fitted, and that the MAIN MENU is in the display.

2. Press the MENU key. The following message will appear on the display:

3. Press the [2] key to select SELF DEMO. The following message will appear:

If you wish to cancel the self-demonstration before it has finished, hold down the [CODE]

key and press the [CANCEL] key.

Multilingual Keyboards

If you wish to type in some foreign languages, for example Turkish, you may find that the English daisywheel does not contain all the required characters, andfor languages with nonLatin characters such as Greek the character set is completely different

Of course, you can simply put a foreign language daisy wheel in your typewriter, but you

may find the results are not very good.

Firstly, the keyboard layout may not be the same as it would be on the proper foreign language keyboard.

Secondly, when you type a character using an English daisy wheel, the printing impact is set to suit that particular character, so that the print density remains even, (For example, a small

character such as a full stop needs less impact than a capital B).

Setting Up Your Typewriter

If you use a foreign language daisy wheel, the typewriter does not know the correct typing impacts forthe characters on that daisy wheel, and some characters may appear darkerthan others.

Fortunately, the multilingual keyboard feature of yourtypewriter allows you to get the best results when you use foreign language daisywheels.

To select a different keyboard language;

I. With the main menu on the screen, press the [MENU] key.

The following menu will appear.

2. Press [I] to select SETUP.

The following message will appear

The first item in the display is shown as asterisks, because it is the default value, which is
