This section tells you how to set up your typewriter to be ready for
typing. If you didn’t remove the yellow packing pieces and ft the
paper support when you unpacked the typewriter, now is the time
to do it before you attempt to power up the machine.
Paper Support
The paper support is used to check and adjust the position of the paper.
Attach the paper support 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 extrenne left position of the print carrier, which is indicated by the ‘0’ nnark
on the embossed scale.
Note:
Should you need to move yourtypewriter, we suggest that you remove the paper support
first to avoid the risk of damage.
Page 7
Selling up ihe Typewnier
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.
Top Cover
Opening the top cover
In orderto insert a new cassette daisywheel, cassette ribbon or spool of correction tape,
first place the top cover of the typewriterto the upright position. Do this by placing both
hands on either end of the cover and lifting it upwards until it stands by itself
Notes:
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 orthe correction
memory, all of which are retained without change.
Page 8
Setting up the Typewriter
Closing the top cover
After inserting the cassette daisywheel, cassette ribbon or spool of correction tape, close
the top cover by replacing it to its original position.
Ensure that it is firnniy in place after closing.
Note:
If the top cover is closed with the unit switched ON, the carrier will autonnatically travel
to the left edge, then return to its previous position.
Power Switch
Your typewriter is now ready to be powered up. You’ll find the power cord at the back
of the typewriter. Sinnply unwrap it and plug it in.
The Power Switch is located at the left rear side ofthe typewriter under the platen knob.
Page 9
..’i A' '' .C'i'O''t ^ ^ ^ ^'' '"'^' ''/ ''"'"0^';', '
Setting up the Typewriter
Set the Power Switch to the ON position. The following should occur:
1. The daisy wheel rotates and stops.
2. The carrier moves automatical ly to the far left end of the platen and then to the preset
or specified left margin.
Notes:
I. Whenever you lift up the top cover, for example to change the cassette ribbon, the
power to the typewriter will automatically go off For this reason there is no danger
in changing the cassette daisywheel or cassette ribbon and correction tape even with
the Power ON.
2. If any of the above didn’t happen, take a look at the section on troubleshooting on
page 46.
Cassette Daisy Wheel
Brother’s slip-in, slip-out cassette daisywheels are known the world over fortheir 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, or to place a new one in. With
the Brother typewriter, this is a vei-y simple task.
Removing the cassette daisy wheel
To remove the cassette daisy wheel, pull the motor lock lever toward you to release it,
then grasp the ear’ of the cassette daisy wheel between your thumb and forefinger and
simply pull it out.
Page 10
Setting up the Typewriter
Note:
The cassette ribbon need not be removed in orderto remove the cassette daisy wheel.
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 motor lock 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 istothe right during insertion. Putting
it in backwards can damage both the cassette daisywheel 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 trouble free. Clean means that the ink goes where it is
supposed to go, on the paper, and not on your hands!
Page 11
Setting up the Typewriter
Removing the old cassette ribbon
First, use the [SPACEBAR] or [BKSP] key to move the carrier to the center of the platen.
To remove the cassette ribbon, hold the cassette with both hands and raise the front end
(that near to the platen). Then, when the ribbon is clear, simply lift the cassette up and out.
Inserting the new cassette ribbon
Remove the stopper from the new cassette ribbon and turn the ribbon feed knob counter
clockwise to tighten the ribbon.
Now locate the lugs on the back edge ofthe cassette into the locating holes in the cassette
ribbon table, and slide the ribbon between the ribbon guides.
With the ribbon set between the ribbon guides, press the cassette down until it locks into
place. Turn the ribbon feed knob again slightly counter clockwise to tighten the ribbon.
Page 12
Setting up the Typewriter
Notes:
1. A window is provided in the cassette to allow you to check on the rennaining annount
of ribbon.
2. Brother cassette ribbons are available in four different types:
Correctable film ribbon (standard with 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 a faultless document every time. What’s more, the bottom
of your typewriter will never be full of pieces of old correction paper and lumps of dried
up correction fluid!
Page 13
Setting up the Typewriter
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.
Installing the new correction tape
First install the left spool, then thread the tape across the left and right guide rollers and
install the right spool. Make sure that the active (non-shiny) side of the correction tape is
facing towards the platen.
Take up the slack by turning the right spool counter clockwise until the white portion of
the tape begins to wind onto the right spool.
Page 14
Note:
Brother correction tapes are available in two types:
Liftoff correction tape (standard with this typewriter)
This is used together with the correctable film ribbon.
Coverup correction tape
This is used together with the multi-strike film ribbon, one-time film ribbon or the nylon
ribbon.
Page 15
Having set up your typewriter, you are now ready to insert a sheet
of paper and begin typing.
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 smooth 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, holding the sheet as straight as possible,
insert the paper into the slot behind the paper rest with the left edge against the paper
guide.
Now press the [PINS] key. The carrierwill first move to the left end of the platen and then
back to the center of the nnargin scale, the paper bail will lift, and the platen will rotate to
feed in the sheet of paper automatically.
PINS
SSET
Page 16
Basic Typing Functions
Hold down the [CODE] key and press the [EXPR] key, or simply press the [RETURN]
key to move the carrierto the left margin position. If you press the [RETURN] key, the
paper will advance according to the line spacing.
Notes:
1. The paper is automatically fed approximately I inch from the top edge of the paper.
2. For even more precise settings, you can also move the paper up or down half a line
at a time with the [INDEX] and [R INDEX] keys.
3. If the paper is crooked or not properly aligned after automatic insertion, it may be
adjusted manually. First turn the platen or use the [INDEX] key to feed more paper
through, then pull the paper release lever forward. This will lift the 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 the [INDEX] and [R INDEX] keys 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 Insertion
You may need to use the manual method for unusual settings or for when you need to
make a precise alignment in the middle of a document.
First insert the sheet of paper into the slot behind the paper rest while keeping the left edge
of the paper in line with the paper guide. Set the paper release lever in its back position.
Use both hands and try to keep the sheet as straight as possible.
Pull the paper bail I ever forward to raise the paper bail and avoid it catching on the paper.
Then turn the platen knob until the top edge of the paper is brought underthe paper bail
to the position desired, and release the paper bail lever. If the sheet is not straight, set the
paper release lever to its forward position and straighten the sheet with both hands.
Return the paper release leverto its back position and turn the platen knob until the sheet
comes out to the desired position.
Page 17
Basic Typing Functions
Setting Start Position
Automatic paper insertion normally sets the paper so that typing will start approximately
one inch (25.4 mm) from the top ofthe page. However, you can change this position using
the START SET function, so that auto-insertion will set the paper to a start position
anywhere between one and six inches (25.4 and 152.4 mm) from the top of the page.
To set the start position, insert a sheet of paper and press the [PINS] key to auto-insert
the page. Now, use the [INDEX] and [R INDEX] keys to adjust the position of the page
to where you wish to begin typing. Then, hold down the [CODE] key and press the
[S SET] key to save that setting as the start line.
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
insert thicker paper and envelopes.
PINS
SSET
Typing impact may be adjusted according to the quality and thickness of the paper you
wish to use, or to the number of carbon copies you are making.
Select the desired impact force by holding down the [CODE] key and pressing the
key for LIGHT impact, the key for MEDIUM impact, or the key for HEAVY
impact.
Note:
Your typewriter is able to make up to 4 carbon copies in addition to the original document cueus

Basic Typing Functions
Selecting Keyboard
A wide variety of daisy wheels is available for your typewriter. As well as having
different typefaces, some of these daisy wheels have different sets of characters
to suit different languages and applications. The typewriter has a choice of three
keyboard settings to allow it to work properly with different types of daisywheel.
I (Standard)
This is probably the keyboard that you’ll be using most of the time, with
“ENGLISH” daisywheels. When an English daisywheel is used with keyboard I
selected, the characters shown on the left side of the keytop are printed.
II (International)
This Keyboard should be used when an optional “INTERNATIONAL” daisy
wheel has been inserted. You will notice that some ofthe keytops have characters
printed on the right as well as on the left. When an international daisy wheel is
used and keyboard II is selected, the characters shown on the right side of each
key top are printed instead of the characters shown on the left side.
III (Symbol)
This Keyboard is for when you need to type mathematical formulas or numbers
which require special symbols, using the optional “SYMBOL” daisy wheel . The
symbol keyboard arrangement is shown below.
Select the desired keyboard by holding down the [CODE] key and pressing the
TTi QorQ key.
Page 22
Basic Typing Functions
Notes:
Be sure that the proper daisy wheel is used for the keyboard selected. For instance,
when using II, an international cassette daisy wheel should be inserted, and the symbol
cassette daisy wheel for III.
Dead Keys
The dead keys are used for diacritical marks (e.g. accents) that may be placed overtyped
characters. The carrier does not move when a dead key is typed, so the character beneath
the accent can be typed afterwards without having to backspace. When typed in the
underline mode, the typed mark will not be underlined.
CODE Key
The [CODE] key is used to access any function labelled in green. In addition, while the
[CODE] key is held down, the legends printed in green above the indicator LEDs are valid.
Extra characters
The extra characters printed in green on the bottom half of some of the keys are typed
by holding down the [CODE] key and pressing those keys.
Setting Line Space
Yourtypewriteroffersyouthree choices of line spacing: single line spacing, one and a half
line spacing, and double line spacing. Select the desired line spacing by pressingthe [LINE]
key. Each time the [LINE] key is pressed, line spacing will change to the next setting in the
order I - I 1/2-2 and the LED for the selected line space will light.
Page 23
Basic Typing Funaions
Single line spacing places I/6 inch of space between lines.
One and a half line spacing places I/4 inch of space between lines.
Double line spacing places I/3 inch of space between lines.

Setting Typing Pitch
Your typewriter offers you three choices of pitch:
Pica, or lO pitch (lO characters per inch)
Elite or 12 pitch (12 characters per inch)
Micron or IS pitch (15 characters per inch)
Select the desired pitch by pressing the [PITCH] key. Each time the [PITCH] key is
pressed, pitch will change to the next setting in the order 10-12-15 and the LED for the
selected pitch setting will light
lO pitch allows I 17 characters to be typed per line.
12 pitch allows 140 characters to be typed per line.
15 pitch allows 175 characters to be typed per line.
12 Pitch gives a maximum of 140 characters per line.

Basic Typing Funcaons
Margins
As you learned earlier, when the typewriter is switched ON, the carrier nnoves
automatically to the far left and then 10 spaces to the right. This is the preset left margin
in 10 pitch.
LMAR

Preset margins
The preset left margin will vary as will the right margin depending on the typing pitch as
shown in the following table .
Pitch Left margin

Margin release
The print carrierwill normally not move outside the margins. However, on occasion, you
may wish to type outside the margins. It will also be necessary to move the carrier past
the margins if you want to set margins outside the ones currently set.
To move to the left of the left margin, use the [BKSP] key to reach the left margin, press
the [M REL] key and then continue to press the [BKSP] key to where you wish to begin
typing.
R MAR
TCLR
To move past the right margin, press the [M REL] key when the margin is reached, then
continue typing.
Setting margins
If you do not wish to use the standard margins, you can set your own margins very easily.
Setting left margin
To set a new left margin, move the carrier to the new left margin position using the
[SPACEBAR] or [BKSP] key. If the new margin position is to the left of the old margin,
you will need to use the [M REL] key before you can move outside the old margin.
Press the [L MAR] key. The left margin is now set.
Setting right margin
To set a new right margin, move the carrierto the new right margin position using the
[SPACEBAR] or [BKSP] key.

Then press the [R MAR] key. The right nnargin is now set.
If you wish to nnove beyond the existing right nnargin to set a new one, press
[M REL] to release the nnargin when you reach it. However, you should first ensure
that the autonnatic carrier return is switched off If it is not, you cannot move
beyond the existing right margin using the [SPACEBAR] as the carrier will return
automatically.
To switch off automatic carrier return, hold down the [CODE] key and press the
[L MAR] key until the AUTO LED above the [TT] key is off
The minimum width between left and right margins depends on the typing pitch,

Setting And Using Tabs
Tabs allow you to miove the typing position quickly and automiatically to a preset
position. As their name suggests, they are useful fortyping tables, and are also used
for indenting paragraphs.
Normal tabs
Normal (left-aligned) tabs are set by moving the carrierto the position at which
atab is required and pressingthe [T SET] key. To use the tab stop, pressthe [TAB]
key, and the carrier will move to the tab position automatically.
Notes:
1. When atab is to be set in the same position as a decimal tab (see below), the
decimal tab in that position will be changed to a normal tab when the [T SET]
key is pressed.
2. Tab positions are set according to the absolute position of the carrier (in units
of 1/60 in.) based on the left edge, so they do not change even when the
margins or pitch have been changed.

Decimal tabs
This function allows you to type columns of numbers aligned on a decimal point Decimal
tabs are set by moving the carrierto the position at which a decimal tab is desired and
holding down the [CODE] key then pressing the [DT SET] key. When a decimal tab is
set the LINE LEDs will blink. To move the carrierto the decimal tab stop, press the [TAB]
key.

Notes:
1. When a decimal tab is set in the same position as a normal tab, the normal tab in that
position will be changed to a decimal tab when the [CODE] + [DT SET] keys are
pressed.
2. Decimal tab positions are set according to the absolute position of the carrier (in units
of I /60 in.) based on the left edge, so they do not change even when the margins or
pitch have been changed.

Notes:
1. If you have selected paragraph indent mode (as described later) and subsequently
clear the paragraph indent tab, the tab will be cleared but the typewriter will remain
in paragraph indent mode until it is cancelled by holding down [CODE] and pressing
[IND CLR].
2. If you move to a decinnal tab and clear that tab before typing anything, the tab will be
cleared, but anytext or numbers subsequently typed will still be printed at the decimal
tab position, unless you move to another tab position or press [RETURN].
Using Shift and Caps Keys
Your typewriter normally prints lower case letters and numerals, plus the punctuation
marks and symbols shown on the lower part of other keys. However, you will often want
to type upper case letters (for beginning a sentence, etc.) and the symbols shown on the
upper part of other keys.

Hot zone
The Hot Zone is an area that begins 6 spaces (regardless of pitch) before the right margin
and extends to the right margin. A buzzer will sound as the carrier enters the hot zone
to inform you of the fact. Once the buzzer has sounded to warn you, you have the six
spaces of the hot zone to end your line by splitting the last word with a hyphen or by
moving the word to the next line, if necessary. If you continue to type, the carrier will stop
at the right margin and the keyboard, except forthe carrierreturn, will lock. This is to keep
you from typing on past the margin, unless, of course, you use the margin release function
to continue.

Insertions and Deletions
Instead of simply replacing incorrect characters or words, you may wish to insert extra
characters, or delete them, or even replace words with different ones. In this case you may
find that there is too much or too little space available for the correction to be inserted
without running into the next word or leaving a big gap. Using the [BS I] key allows you
to balance the spacing of your corrections so that it is not apparent that insertions or
deletions have been made.

Insertions
If you try to insert an extra character into a word, you will be left with no space between
it and the next word. You can even this up by moving the whole word half a space to the
left so that there is a half space on either side of the word.
First use the [SPACEBAR] or [BKSP] key to move to the last character of the word

Memory
Your typewriter is equipped with a memory function to store text for printing out later.
You can also store a custom line format, and switch between this and the default line
format. The memory is only active when the typewriter is switched on, and memory
settings are lost when it is switched off or disconnected from the mains.
Storing a line format
When you switch on your typewriter, it starts off with the following default line format:
Pitch: Pica (10 pitch)

Line Space: I
Keyboard: I
Impact: Medium

If you change any of these settings, you may wish to save your new line format. To do this,
first press the [STORE] key to put the machine into store mode. The three PITCH LEDs
will flash to indicate that store mode has been entered.
Now hold down the [CODE] key and press the [FORMAT] key. The three PITCH LEDs
will flash again to indicate that your line format has been stored.
Now press the [END] key to take the machine out of store mode. The three PITCH
LEDs will flash once more.

Calling a line format from memory
Once you have stored a line fornnat in nnennory, you can alternate between your custonn
line format and the default line format by pressing [CODE] + [FORMAT].
The first time you press [CODE] + [FORMAT] the format will revert to the default
format. The next time you press [CODE] + [FORMAT], your custom format will be
recalled. You can toggle between your custom format and the default format as often as
you wish, until the machine is switched off, when your custom format will be lost.
Notes:
1. You can change the format at any time, regardless off the carrier position.
2. Whenever you press [CODE] + [FORMAT], the carrier will immediately move to
the new left margin.
3. The line correction memory will be cleared.
Text memory
This function allows you to store up to 5500 characters of text in memory, and print it out
later. This can be useful if, for example, you wish to send the same letterto several different
addresses, as you can type each address then print out the body of the text from the
memory.
Only a single document may be stored. You may make later additions to the end of the
document, within the 5500 character limit, but once the text has been stored, it is not
possible to make changes to it.

Now, using the typewriter as normal, type the text which you wish to store.
When you have finished typing, press the [END] key. Your type writer will now leave the
store mode, and the three PITCH LEDs will blink again for confirmation.
If you need to add additional text to the end of the file after you have finished, press the
[STORE] key again and continue typing. This additional text will be added to the end of
the file. Remember to press the [END] key to exit the store mode.
Correction in store mode
When you are typing in the store mode, automatic corrections can be made to the line
you are typing as normal. The only difference is that when the stored text is printed out
Page 46
Advanced Typing
from memory, the typewriter does not make the mistakes you made. It prints the text
correctly the first time.
It is important to note that each line of text is stored if the [RETURN], [END] or [PINS]
key is pressed, when the [INDEX] or [R INDEX] key is pressed twice in a row or when
the [CODE] + [IND CLR] keys are pressed in the paragraph indent mode. The three
PITCH LEDs will blink to indicate the entry of data into the memory.
After a line oftext is stored, any (manual) corrections you subsequently make to it will not
be stored in memory, so try to make sure each line is correct before it is stored.
Notes:
The text memory stores no line format information except the pitch of the typed text.
Margins, line spacing and print impact must be set before you print the text from
memory.
When you use the [TAB] key in store mode, the carrier movement from the end of
the previous word to the tab position is stored as spaces in memory. Therefore, the
text will print from memory with the original tab positions, even if you change the tab
positions on the typewriter before printing.
When the memory is full, a buzzer will sound to warn you of the fact. No more data
can be stored, but normal typing may be continued.
When there is data previously stored into the memory, any new text stored will be
added on to the end of that text.
Printing text from memory
Data stored in the text memory may be printed directly from memory using the print
mode. First set the margins, line spacing, and impact, then hold down the [CODE] key and
press the [PRINT] key to print the stored text. When the printout is complete, your
typewriter will automatically leave the print mode.
Printing may be stopped in progress by pressing the [END] key. Printing will cease
immediately and the carrier will return.
Notes:
I. Printing may betemporarily suspended while in progressbypressingthe [SPACEBAR].
The carrierwill complete the line being printed when the [SPACEBAR] was pressed,

Page 47
Holding down the [CODE] key and pressing the [PRINT] key will print the entirety
of the text stored in memot7 and may not be used to print only a portion of the file.
Printing will start at the beginning of the file and continue to the end unless stopped
in progress.
For printing from memory, you must set the left and right margins so that the distance
between them is equal to or greater than that when you originally typed the text. If
it is not, printing will stop when the right margin is reached.
Removing text from memory
The text memory may be erased by pressing [CODE] + [CORRECT] followed by the
[STORE] key. This will erase the entire content of the text memory and place your
typewriter into the store mode, ready to store new text.
You must always clear the previously stored text before you begin new text. If you do not,
the text you enter will be added to the end of the previously stored text.
Clearing the memory
