Getting Started

Ноги to Use this Manual

In order to allow first-time owners to learn about the many sophisticated functions that this word processor offers, this manual has been organized as a tutorial rather than a reference book. You are encouraged to go through the manual in a step-by-step fashion, learning about each of the functions and features one at a time. In this way you will be able to gain a full understanding of what this word processor can do and be able to make full use of its capabilities.

The last Section, “Appendix”, provides an alphabetic index, a glossary, and a quick reference guide for later reference.

J Setting Up

Removing the Packing Pieces

Before you plug in the word processor, open the acoustic cover and remove the yellow plastic pieces shown in the illustrations below.

NOTES:

•If the plastic pieces are not removed, damage to the word processor may occur when the power is turned on.

•The yellow plastic pieces do not need to be re-installed unless you are re packing the word processor for shipping.

Remove the protective cover.

NOTE:

Replace the protective cover when the word processor is not in use.

Lift the acoustic cover.

Remove the yellow plastic pieces.

NOTE:

Be sure to reinstall the display and cover. The acoustic cover is equipped with a safety switch. Your word processor will not operate unless the acoustic cover is securely closed.

Switching the Word Processor On/Ojf

Power Cord

NOTE:

Please be sure both yellow plastic packing pieces have been removed from the word processor before the power is turned on.

The power cord is stored in a compartment on the back of the word processor. The cover of that compartment is also used as a paper support.

NOTE:

It is a good idea to disconnect the AC plug when the word processor is not used for a long period. Always disconnect the power cord during thunderstorms.

Power Switch

Flip the power switch on. The switch is located on the left side toward the rear of the word proces sor.

NOTE:

If the word processor does not respond, check the power cord and then make sure that the acoustic cover is securely latched.

Adjust the display brightness with the brightness controller next to the screen.

NOTE:

If you switch the word processor off, wait at least 10 seconds before switching it on again.

Failure to wait 10 seconds may disrupt the start-up sequence, resulting in faulty operation and possible equipment dam age.

Precautions

Although this word processor is ruggedly constructed, it should not be exposed to extreme conditions. To ensure many years of reliable operation, please follow these recommendations:

In case of malfunction, overheating, or other problems, immediately discon nect the AC plug and consult your dealer.

Do not attempt to disassemble the word processor. It has no user-service able parts inside.

Avoid dropping the word processor.

Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and other sources of heat.

Avoid spills. If any liquid enters the word processor, immediately disconnect the AC plug and consult your dealer.

Avoid locations where excessive moisture or dust collect.

Do not use sprays in the vicinity of the word processor. Aerosols are extremely harmful to the disk drive.

Disconnect the AC plug during thunderstorms.

Do not place heavy objects on the keyboard.

Always keep the air vents free from obstruction to avoid overheating the word processor.

Clean the machine housing with a soft, dry cloth only. Avoid using chemicals, solvents and detergents.

To avoid electrical interference, do not place the word processor too close to a radio receiver or television. If the word processor is too close to a television set, the disk drive may not work properly.

If you switch the word processor off, wait at least 10 seconds before switching it on again. Failure to wait 10 seconds may disrupt the start-up sequence, resulting In faulty operation and possible equipment damage.

Keyboard Layout

This word processor has more keys than a typewriter. In order to get a clear understanding of the keyboard, we will distinguish three classes of keys as described below. Most keys are auto-repeat; if you hold down the key, it repeats until you release the key.

In this Owner’s Manual, ICODEI + a second key indicates that the №aaw key must be held down while the second key is pressed.

The Character Keys

The character keys are used to type text. They are very similar to the character keys of a typewriter, except that this word processor accepts different daisy wheels, and therefore makes available a greater number of characters.

NOTES:

The characters available when the keyboard Is set to I (standard) appear on the left of the key tops.

The characters available when the keyboard Is set to II (International) appear on the right of the key tops.

The characters available when the keyboard Is set to III (symbol) are not shown on the key tops.

The Keyboard Control Keys

The keyboard control keys are used to modify the effect of the other keys. Press

ing	or ICODEI alone will not produce any effect. To modify the effect of
another key, you must hold down [SHlRl or		while pressing the key to be
modified.

In this Manual, such a double keystroke will be symbolized by the “+” sign.

Key	Function

WjH + character key	Used to type an uppercase character.

+ another key	Used to type the character indicated in green on
	the key top, or to activate a function (see “Function
	Keys” below).

iCAH	Locks the keyboard in uppercase mode.

	Locks the keyboard in capital mode.

The Function Keys

The function keys are used to activate the various functions of the word proces sor. In contrast to the character keys, their effect does not depend on which daisy wheel is installed. Many functions can be activated with — + a character key. However, not all of these functions are indicated in green on the key top.

The Function Menu Key

Most of the functions of this word processor are activated by selection from a menu.

Once you get acquainted with the word processor, however, you might find that the selection from a menu is time-consuming. For faster operation, many func tions of the menus can also be activated by “short-cut” keys.

On-Screen Help Information

(rH.

HELP

Since this product is designed to last for many years, you may need to review the meaning of a function you have not used in a while. Press — + (8)- Short definitions of the functions will appear on the screen. The different keys that are used for scanning the information and to return to your work are also indi cated on the screen.

NOTE:

Since the details of operation are not provided, the help information is not a replacement for careful reading of this Manual.

i_J Diskettes

This word processor accepts only the following type of 3.5-inch diskettes:

MF-2DD (Double Sided/Double Density/Double Track)

MF-1DD (Single Sided/Double Density/Double Track)

NOTE:

Your word processor cannot use high density (“HD”) diskettes, so be sure to purchase only double density double track (“DD”) diskettes. It is recom mended that you use Brother brand diskettes.

Inserting and Removing a Diskette

Insert the diskette as shown in the illustration.

To remove the diskette, press the eject button.

CAUTION - The diskette may be inserted and removed when the power is either on or off. It may also be left in the drive while transporting the word processor. However, you should never insert or remove it while a message indicates that a diskette operation is in progress.

Caring for Your Diskettes

The slightest damage, such as a scratch, or a small amount of dust on a diskette can spoil an entire file and make it unusable. The protective case of the 3.5-inch diskette protects the sensitive disk surface. (The metallic shutter automatically opens and exposes this sensitive surface only when the diskette is inserted into the drive.) Additional precautions must be taken in order to ensure reliable main tenance of your files.

Never open the shutter of the diskette and never touch the surface directly.

Do not use magnetic materiais near the diskette.

Never expose the diskette to extremeiy high or iow temperatures.

Write-Protecting Your Diskettes

The diskettes are write-protected by software that comes with the word processor and is set through the INDEX screen menu. When write-protect is ON, you cannot erase oid information or store new information on the diskette.

NOTE:

The switch on the diskette does not determine read/write capabiiity.

Initializing New Diskettes

A diskette can be used by a system only after being “formatted” - that is, initial ized by the system for specific use by that system. One frequently used analogy is that the magnetic coating on the diskette is like a blank sheet of paper. Although you can write anything anywhere on the blank sheet, things are much more organized if you add ruled lines. The initiaiizing program creates the elec tronic equivalent of ruled lines on the diskette. Different systems use different for mats. Standards exist, but, in general, systems cannot share diskettes without special conversion of hardware or software.

When a diskette is accessed, the word processor checks the format of the dis kette. If the diskette is unformatted or has a different format, the following prompt appears:

Initialize? Press RETURN(yes) or CANCEL(no).

WARNING:

Initializing a diskette erases any data that might be on it. If you initialize a diskette from a personal computer, for example, the files will be com pletely destroyed. Press [CANCEL L if you do not wish to initialize, and insert another diskette.

If the diskette is new or contains unimportant data, press IRETUNNI to format the diskette. The word processor asks for confirmation:

Delete all files on this disk? Press Y(yes) or N(no).

Press B to format the diskette, or press B and insert another diskette.

NOTE:

•This word processor can recognize and read data from diskettes that have been used with some other Brother word processors. For more detaiis about compatibiiity, piease contact your deaier.

Backing up a Diskette

The best insurance against losing important data is to make backups (duplicate copies) of each important file. With this word processor, you can copy individual files of your choice to another diskette, or copy the entire contents of a diskette to another diskette.

Operation Overview

The Main Menu

When you switch the word processor on, the Main menu appears:

Word Processing 2

I Typewriter

The Main Menu displays the list of the available applications in the form of icons.

To start working with an application, use the cursor keys to select an icon, and press —1. You can also press the number key indicated on the upper left side of each icon for Word processing, etc.).

The following applications are available:

Word Processing	The Word Processing application (WP application) is
	used to type and format documents on screen. You can
	save the document on diskette or print it at any time.
Typewriter	In the Typewriter application (TW application), the word
	processor becomes an electronic typewriter with many
	advanced features normally available only on word pro

Differences between Word Processing and Typewriting

The Return Function

RETURN

This word processor will return automatically at the end of each line. Type a para graph as a single long line.

You still get a paragraph because of a feature called “Word Wrap”. Words that do not fit on the line will “wrap” to the next line. When you press IMMBM, a little sym bol appears. This symbol is never printed. It is your signal to the word proces sor that “paragraph ends here”.

The Cancel Function

CANCEL

PDOWN

The ICANCELI key allows you to cancel a selected function. It is handy when you have pressed the wrong key, or when you change your mind as to how you wish the command executed after you have selected the mode

On-Screen Symbols

Special symbols appear in the text to remind you that you used a format function there. (Example: the symbol that appears when you press IRETURW to start a new paragraph.) Such symbols are never printed on paper. (For a complete list, see “Symbols” on page 138.)

Automatic Page Breaks

CODE

PBREAK,

A) ^====H

The word processor automatically breaks your text up into pages according to your specifications. The position of these automatic page breaks is flexible and will be re-adjusted for you by the machine if you modify the text.

You may also decide to force the word processor to start a new page at any point by pressing jgiiM + . This inserts a symbol ^ in the text.

Caps Lock vs. Shift Lock

The caps lock function is not the same as the shift lock function on a common typewriter. Both eliminate the need to reach for ISHffrI to type an uppercase (cap ital) letter, but they differ in their effect on other keys.

The Keyboard Shift Function

Vb=

You aiready know that hoiding down laWTI and pressing B gives you the exclamation mark.

Whiie fFTI is pressed, the SHIFT indicator appears on the screen. The indicator disappears as soon as you reiease IB—.

The Shift Lock Function

SHIR LOCK

CAPS

If you press MHUFTloai, the SHIFT indicator is displayed permanently, and all the characters you type are uppercase = “A”, ® To release this mode, press BM.

The Caps Lock Function

When you need to type long strings of both capital letters and numbers, such as “ACCT NO. BC104”, press JlM + W- The CAPS indicator will appear on the screen to tell you that the keyboard is locked in capital mode (B = “A”, but B = “1”). To release this mode, press — + MM again.

Status Line

The status line reminds you where you are and how you have told the word pro cessor to format your text. Most indicators are followed with a value (example: PITCH: 10) and are always displayed. The ones on the right appear (in reversed color) only when the corresponding function has been activated because they are on/off indicators (example: BLD when the bold function is on). (For a complete list, see “Indicators” on page 140.)

Scale

The scale on the screen of the word processor is the electronic equivalent of the scale on the top of a typewriter, which assists the operator in determining the position of characters on a page. The numbers indicate the position from the left edge of the paper. Other symbols remind you of some format settings (example: L and R indicate the position of the left and right margin). (For a complete list, see “Symbols” on page 138.)

NOTES:

•By default, the scale is disabled. To display the scale, see the example under the title “Menu” on page 24.

Text Area

The bulk of the screen is your work area, a window into your document. Although it only shows a few lines of 79 characters at a time, if your document is longer or wider, you can move the window up, down, left, and right. The only part you can not use is the “dead column” (to the left of column 0), which the word processor reserves for the “format change” symbol g . Other symbols appear in the text to remind you of the format functions that you used, but will not be printed. (For a complete list, see “Symbols” on page 138.)

Text and Scale Cursors

A lighted square, the text cursor, indicates your current position in the text area. Another cursor, the scale cursor, is an underline that indicates your position rela tive to the left of the scale and follows horizontal movement of the text cursor.
