• 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.

Corrections
Your typewriter has a one line correction memory. Very simply,
this means that if you make an error on the current typing
line, you may instruct the typewriter to “lift off’ the error
automatically.
Errors can be corrected both in correction memory and out of
correction memory. The KX-E2000 even offers two ways to
correct out of the correction memory.
If you have typed several lines and notice an error above the
current line, you may correct the error with a manual correction.
Listed below are the keys you will use when making corrections.
• SPACE BAR is used to position the printer one space to the
right of the incorrect character.
• BACKSPACE is used to move the printer one space to the right
of the incorrect character.
• CORRECT deletes characters to the left of the printhead.
• EXPRESS (EXPR) moves the printer to the beginning of the
line without line spacing.
• RELOCATE (RELOC) moves the printer to the last printed
character on the page, or to the last manual return.
• QUICK ERASE deletes one word at a time to the left of the
printhead.

Exercise
Type the following exercise including the errors. When finished, use the correction procedures
you have just learned. Be sure to make the corrections within the correction memory first,
and then make the corrections out of correction memory.
• Set the mode selector on NORM and use the CODE + X format.
Distantly related to the opossum, the Koala bear is only
3/4 of an inch long at birth and weighs only 1/5 of an
ounce. Usually only one Koala is born at a time, with
the mother bearing young only every other year.
The [infznt] will remain in its mother's pouch until it
is ready to emerge at six months of age. It will then
fciimgl to its mother's back until it is a year old.
When fully grown, it will stand about two feet [high| and
may iwTetHl as much as 33 pounds. At the age of four,
the animal will have attained full sexual maturity and
its life span may be as long as 20 years.
When the Koala is ready to strike out on fit's won ,j it '
will find its own eucalyptus tree, whose leaves are almost
its only food. Only on rare occasions will it leave
the tree, as when it seeks another tree to |tkae| up n^
residence.
_________________________
^ -
The Koala is suited for climbing, as all four of its
sharpjclawde| feet are made for grasping. During the day
the Koala sleeps, usually curled up inconspicuously in
the crotch of a tree, and feeds only at jnightime.|____________________
At one time, the Koala, a native of Australia, was severely
threatened with extinction. Now the Australian Igovernemtnj
is taking drastic (stespi to insure its survival. j

Decimal Tabulation
The DEC TAB key advances the printer to the next tab position
and aligns alpha or numeric characters to the left of that tab
position. It aligns a period (decimal point) or comma on the
tab stop and places the characters following the period or comma
to the right of the tab position.
Because DEC TAB aligns all characters before a period or a
comma to the left of the tab position, it is ideal for whole
numbers or characters that require a flush right appearance. For
statistical typing, DEC TAB simplifies the tedious task of manually
aligning a column of numbers.
For statistical typing in foreign countries, numbers are aligned
at the comma position instead of the decimal point. If this is
required, you may change the alignment character by accessing
the default settings menu (see page 37).
Using Decimal Tabulation
1 Set tab stops
Remember, set the tab stop in the position you want the decimal
point to appear.

Temporary Hyphen (Soft Hyphen)
A Temporary Hyphen enables you to hyphenate words that fall
within the Hot Zone (between the bell and the right margin).
A Temporary Hyphen triggers an Auto Return and should only
be used in the AUTO typing mode. Because the temporary
hyphen enables you to fit more characters on a line, it gives
the right margin a less ragged appearance.
Inserting a Temporary Hyphen
1 Type until you hear the “beep” (bell) as you near the end of the
line
2 Press CODE + HYPHEN ( —) at the desired hyphenation point
+ [I]
The character after the hyphen will trigger an automatic return.

SPELLSCAN
SpellScan offers a base dictionary of 86,000 words. The dictionary is ROM (Read Only
Memory) based, which simply means that you may only read the words in the dictionary;
you cannot delete or edit them.
In addition to the base dictionary, Panasonic has included a IK (approximately 120 words)
user glossary. The glossary enables you to store frequently used words such as medical or
legal terms, proper or company names. Words may be added or deleted from the glossary at
any time, without disturbing the 86,000 words base dictionary.
The spelling of each word is checked against the base dictionary and the words you have
entered into the glossary. If a word is not found in the dictionary or the glossary, the typewriter
will beep twice to signal that an error has been made.
The typewriter will recognize the end of a word when a space, tab or carrier return is entered.
It will check a word whether it is typed in upper or lower case and .will ignore the fact that
it is underscored or in bold print. It will also accept apostrophes and certain abbreviations
such as “don’t”, “isn’t”, “1st”, “2nd” and “3rd”
SpellScan® is a registered trademark of Panasonic Communications & Systems Company, Division
of Matsushita Electric Corporation of America.
