in a box. Keys with one or two characters to the right of the
traditional characters offer special symbols. These symbols are
accessed in KB II. For more information on KB II refer to
page 6.

• Press CODE + E
The KX-E2000 has been pre-programmed for standard
paper (66 lines), and will eject the paper based on that setting.
If you are using legal or ledger size paper (longer than 11"),
the paper will not eject fully from the typewriter unless you
change the paper length default setting (see page 37).
Margins and Tabs
Because there are no preset margins or tabs, the KX-E2000
enables you to set margins and tabs to meet your requirements.
A maximum of 28 tab stops can be set on a writing line.
Panasonic also gives you the ability to store three different
margin formats (margins, tabs, and hot zones). These formats
are stored in X. Y and Z, and can be recalled at any time;
thus, eliminating the need to manually set frequently used margin
formats.
