Part Functions

Power ON/OFF Switch

The power ON/OFF switch is located toward the back left-hand side of the typewriter.
When you turn the machine on, the daisywheel will spin to position itself accurately, the printer will position itself to the left margin and the typewriter will resume the margins and tabs that were set when it was turned off.

Paper Release Lever

Pulling forward on the Paper Release Lever releases the pan which holds the paper tight against the platen and enables the operator to adjust the paper freely.

Paper Bail Release Lever

Pulling forward on the Paper Bail Release Lever moves the paper bail away from the platen. Additional forward movement of this lever activates the automatic paper insert function.
Page 13

Copy Control Lever

Located inside the unit on the right side underneath the ribbon cartridge is a green lever, which is for copy control. Position 1 is for one to three copies; position 2 is for three to five copies (dependent upon paper weight). Set according to your require ments.

Cover Interlock Switch

Cover Interlock Switch
The top cover has a safety interlock switch which deactivates the printer and keyboard whenever the top cover is opened.

CRT Brightness Control

The Brightness Control knob, which is located on the lower right­hand side of the CRT, enables you to choose the level of “bright ness” or “darkness” that makes it most comfortable for you to view your screen.
Page 14

2. KEYBOARD LAYOUT

In order to simplify the explanation of the typewriter and its capabilities, the keyboard has been divided into three (3) separate sections: Character Keys, Selector Switches, and Function Keys.

Selector Switches

'Y'

Function Keys
The KX-E2500 Character Keys are clearly labeled for ease of use.
All coded functions are labeled in blue and correspond with the
CODE key, which is also labeled in blue. All operations which
need to be performed with the SHIFT key are framed 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 7.
Page 15

Selector Switches

A total of five selector switches are located on the KX-E2500.

Line Spacing Selector

The Line Spacing Selector is located on the top left of the key
board. It is marked 1, ]V2, 2, and 3 and is used to control the
number of lines between each RETURN.
You may also select from three different lines per vertical inch
settings which are accessed through the default menu discussed on
page 11. These choices and their uses are listed below:

Mode Selector

The Mode selector is located to the immediate right of the line
spacing selector. It controls your typing output by offering you
three modes of operation: NORM, DISP, JSTFY.
5.25 — Legal Applications (court reporting) 6 — Normal Correspondence 8 — Used in conjunction with 15 pitch
f
n
NORM Deactivates your display screen allowing you to type
directly on the paper. When you come to the end of a line, a manual return is required.
DISP Accesses the display screen allowing you to view one
line of text before it is printed on the paper. DISP will also trigger an automatic return at the end of each line.
JSTFY Works the same as the DISP mode. However, in the
JSTFY mode, your text will print with an even right margin, giving your work a clean, professional look.
Page 16

Pitch Selector

On the right side of the keyboard is the Pitch Selector which is labeled 10, 12, 15, and PS. The Pitch Selector indicates the number of characters printed per inch as outlined below:
¡L O ra Ü
10 PICA
12 ELITE 15 MIKRON PS PROPORTIONAL
For the best results, your Pitch Selector switch should correspond with the pitch of the daisywheel in your typewriter.
10 Characters per inch 12 Characters per inch 15 Characters per inch
Variable Spacing

Impact Control Selector

The Impact Control Selector, which is located to the right of the Pitch Selector, dictates to the printer how hard the characters on the daisywheel will strike the page. You have a choice of two settings: L (light) and H (heavy).
Page 17

KB l/KB II Selector

The KB I/KB II selector switch is located to the far right of the keyboard. KB 1 allows printing of the alpha/numeric symbols nor mally associated with a traditional keyboard. On keys which con tain three or more characters, KB II enables you to access the
symbols located on the right side of the traditional characters.
Accessing KB II
• Move the selector switch to KB II.
The symbols to the right side of the traditional characters are now available for use.
If the symbol is located on the upper right side of the traditional character,
• Press SHIFT -b the Desired Key
If the symbol is located to the lower right side of the traditional character,
• Press the Desired Key (no shift is required)
Panasonic offers two types of daisywheels:
D1—For International Symbols D2—For American Symbols

3. DEFAULT SETTINGS

The KX-E2500 is shipped with pre-set characteristics such as the background color of your display
or the number of printed lines per page. The default settings menu enables you to change the pre-programmed characteristic of the typewriter to meet your individual requirements. When you make a change to the default settings menu, it will remain until you access the default settings again.

Printed Lines Per Page

Printed lines per page defines the number of lines to print on each page.
Example:
You are using a standard sheet of paper (8.5"xH") and the auto paper insertion is set at 7 lines for a one inch margin at the top of the paper. In addition, you may also require a one inch bottom margin. If you subtract 12 lines from the total available lines (66) this would equal 54 printed lines per page.
Page 21

Form Feed

The paper length is calculated in lines and relates to the lines per inch setting To arrive at this calculation, simply multiply the length of the paper in inches by the number of lines to the inch
Example 6 vertical lines per inch
H" letter size paper=66 lines 14" legal size paper=84 lines

Lines Per Inch

The number of lines per inch represents the spacing between two printed lines on a page When using a traditional format, 6 is the standard setting For legal applications 5 25 spacing is usually appropriate When using a 15 pitch pnntwheel, the line spacing should be set on 8 to minimize excess white space between the lines

Dec Tab Character

You may choose to align numbers at the decimal point (period) or comma

Low Impact

The KX-E2500 offers low impact ribbons to reduce noise levels If you are using this ribbon type, select “Yes ”
NOTE: If you select “Yes” and you are not using a low impact ribbon,
Panasonic will not assume responsibility for inconsistent print quality If you experience inconsistent print quality, change this setting to correspond with the correct ribbon type

to a blinking cursor or non-blinking cursor.

Background Color

The default background color is a white background with black characters. The background color can be reversed at any time by
selecting Background Color and choosing black background with white characters.

Auto Paper Insertion

The typewriter is pre-programmed to insert your paper seven (7)
lines from the top of the page. You can change your insertion position in Typewriter Mode by using CODE + A. When the in sertion position is changed, the word “No” will be highlighted on the Auto Paper Insertion line of the Default settings menu. The
Auto Paper Insertion selection on the Default settings menu is provided so that you can re-set your insertion position to the original default setting of a 1" top margin quickly and easily.
12
• To re-set the default insertion position, simply select Default on the Auto Paper Insertion line and press RELOC.

KB (Keyboard) Symbols Displayed

The default KBII symbols displayed are International symbols
(Dl) to agree with the D1 daisywheel shipped with your machine. The KBII symbols should only be changed when a D2 daisywheel for American symbols is used in the typewriter. This selection enables you to display the correct symbols to correspond with your daisywheel.

4. DISPLAY OVERVIEW

The KX-E2500 offers a high resolution black and white reversible display screen. You can reverse
the default setting of white background with black characters to black background with white characters by following the instructions on page 17. The KX-E2500 displays 80 characters across and 23 lines down. However, in typewriter mode only one line of text is displayed.

Status Line

The first line of the display is called the Status Line. It will display
a prompt to inform you of your current selections such as bold, underscore, indent, etc. The status line differs slightly in the type writer and memory modes. Therefore, each mode will be explained separately.

Typewriter Mode

The character counter is displayed in the upper right hand corner
of the display in typewriter mode only. This number indicates the number of characters available between the left and right margin. As you type, this number will decrease and tell you how many characters remain.
Status Line
......1.........2,
Ruler Line
Below is an example of how the status line is displayed in type writer mode:
Character Counter
COUNT 115

Page 25

Memory Mode

The text name or phrase number you are currently in is displayed
at the beginning of the status line. The word “INSERT” is dis played in the center of the status line indicating that you are in the default typing mode. If this word is not displayed you are in an overtype mode and will replace existing text as you type. The COLUMN number indicates your cursor position on the ruler. The
LINE number and PAGE number your cursor is positioned on are also displayed on the status line.

Embed

The symbols listed on the previous page are displayed when a
feature is turned on or off. As a result, your text will shift one
character to the right for each screen symbol. Many times it is
difficult to visualize how your text will look with these symbols on
screen. Therefore, the KX-E2500 enables to embed (hide) these
non-printable symbols so that you can get a better idea of how
your printed text will look. This feature is extremely useful when
using line framing to box information because the lines are not
visible until the display symbols are embeded.

Edit Ruler
The typewriter mode enables you to edit margin and tab settings
in two ways:
(A) Set the new margins and tabs and store them over the current
format by following the instructions outlined on pages 26 and
29.
(B) Select ‘'Edit Ruler” from the format menu and display the
margin and tab format on the ruler line before editing.
In the text memory mode (margins and tabs are ignored in phrase memory), item “B” above is the only way to edit margin and tab settings.
The Edit Ruler selection enables you to edit the current margin and tab settings as well as those stored under formats “X”, ”Y”, and ”Z.” The Edit Ruler procedure is exactly the same when selected in either the typewriter or text memory mode as outlined below:
• The printhead automatically moves beyond the left margin setting to the end of the platen.
• Margin Release (M.R.) is not necessary in the Edit Ruler mode to bypass the current left and right margin setting.
• The printhead moves along the ruler line when you press the SPACE BAR or the FWD- key.
• The same keys used to set new margins, tabs and hot zone outlined on page 26 are also used when editing the ruler.
• It is not necessary to clear the current left and right margin, or hot zone before setting a new one. When the new left or right margin, or hot zone is set, the old setting will automat ically clear.
• Unwanted Tabs are cleared from the ruler line by positioning the cursor on the tab (represented by the letter “T”) and pressing TAB CLR.

Using the Display in the Typewriter Mode

In typewriter mode, only one line of text is displayed when typing
with the mode selector set on DISP or JSTFY. As you type, your text will appear on the third line of the screen. The cursor will indicate exactly where the next character you type will appear.
When typing out of memory, only the insert typing mode is avail able. Therefore, if you backspace and type in the middle of text, the characters will insert to the left of the cursor and move the existing text to the right. The RELOC key can be used to position the cursor at the end of the line. Below is a list of keys used to move the cursor when typing on display in the typewriter mode.
FWD-^ Advances the cursor to the right
BACKSPACE Moves the cursor to the left

RELOC

EXPR

The KX-E2500 will automatically return and print the line dis played when typing in DISP and JSTFY modes. The automatic return is triggered when a character is typed following a space in the hot zone. (The hot zone is the area between the bell and the right margin.)
The line displayed will also print when one of the following keys
is pressed: RETURN, TAB, DEC TAB, CENTER, PRINT, -| IND, CODE + E, CODE + F, CODE + K, or CODE + P.

Corrections

The KX-E2500 offers many ways to insure that your work is letter perfect. In addition to the display, which enables you to correct errors before they are printed, the KX-E2500 has a 1,000 character correction memory (approximately Vl a page) which makes cor
recting errors a simple task. There are even two methods of man ual correction available to correct errors that are made outside of
the correction memory.
In the typewriter mode, two dedicated keys are available to delete
errors:
CORRECT
QUICK ERASE
Below is a list of keys used to make corrections.

SPACE BAR

BACKSPACE

REVERSE INDEX

Deletes one character at a time to the left of the printhead. If the printhead is lo cated at the left margin, the CORRECT key will move the printhead to the end of the previous line.

When you reach the last line in the correction memory, the KX-E2500 will beep and you will be unable to use the BACK
SPACE or CODE + REVERSE INDEX ( f ) keys to advance to the previous line. Two methods of correction are available outside of the correction memory; the No Print method and Manual Cor rection.
Using the No Print Method
The No Print method enables you to retype errors into the correc tion memory without re-printing them. This feature is especially useful when correcting errors typed in proportional spacing (PS), or in the JSTFY mode.

Indent

The KX-E2500 offers two forms of indent: Left Indent and Block
Indent. Left Indent allows you to set a temporary left margin and eliminates the need to TAB before typing each indented line. Block Indent automatically indents the left and right margin evenly. When either INDENT is activated, the word INDENT will appear on the status line. When typing on display, an indent symbol “lii; ” or “ ” will appear on the ruler line to indicate where the indent was set. When typing in text memory, in addition to the symbols on the status and ruler line, an indent symbol will also appear at the beginning and at the end of the indented text.
The display symbol for each indent is shown below:

Decimal Tabulation

The DEC TAB key advances the printer to the next tab position.
Alpha or numeric characters are aligned to the left of that tab position. A period {decimal point) or comma is aligned at the tab stop. Characters following the period or comma are positioned to
the right of the tab position.
T
X
X
48
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.
The word DECTAB will appear on the status line when used in
the typewriter mode. The symbol “[3” will appear on the display
when typing in text memory. The DEC TAB feature is not avail
able when typing in phrase memory.
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 11).

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 DISP or JSTFY typing modes. Because the Temporary Hyphen enables you to fit more characters on a line, it gives the right margin a less ragged appearance. The symbol “ = ” will appear on your display.

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
Thé printer will automatically return to the left margin.
Exercise
Type this exercise below using the "Y” ruler and the mode selector on DISP.
j Soft hyphens are entered in the hot zone to pre-/^
vent long words from causing extremely ragged mar^< gins on the right side of the page. However* re member to use the CODE key before you depress the hyphen key. This tells the typewriter to return at the next character typed.

• Set the mode selector on DISP and use the “Y” ruler.
Permanent spaces prevent names or dates from being separated. In instances such as San Francisco
• or New York, N. Y. or dates such as September 30 ,^!i989. you may instruct the typewriter to never separate"“
these characters or numbers onto different typing lines.

Permanent Backspace

When typing in memory or in a display mode, a permanent back space is required to instruct the system to print one character over another. Using left arrow or backspace alone when typing on display will only insert the character in front of the one you are trying to overlap.
Although is it possible to print one character over another in the typewriter (NORM) mode, use the Permanent Backspace feature to include both characters in the correction memory. This enables you to correct both characters automatically. For instance, if you type 0 without using the Permanent Backspace feature, you will only be able to correct the slash (/), not the zero (0).

7. MEMORY

Memory works very much like your file cabinet; allowing you to store information in separate files and even in separate drawers.
The KX-E2500 gives you three separate storage areas or drawers. Two of these storage areas, Phrase
Memory and Text Memory, are located in the internal memory of the typewriter.
Phrase Memory—Phrase Memory is designed to store frequently used addresses, short para graphs, and text which will print as a header or footer. The information is stored in files numbered from 1 through 99.
Text Memory^—Text Memory is used to store more lengthy documents, such as letters and reports. These files are stored by name.
Your typewriter comes standard with 25,000 characters (approx. 12 to 15 pages) of internal memory. The internal memory can be divided between phrase and text memory to meet your requirements.
If desired, you can use all your internal memeoy to create one file. The choice is yours. When all the internal memory is used, the system will prompt, “MEMORY FULL!” You then have the ability to store your text files to disk and clear the internal memory for future use.
The third storage area is the Disk Drive. The standard 3W ' floppy disk drive, located on the left side of the typewriter and allows you to store 720,000 characters on each disk. This gives you virtually unlimited storage capabilities.
The following pages contain instructions on how to use both the memory, and the text editing features that make memory so useful.
54
Page 65

Typing in Memory

When typing in phrase or text memory, the word INSERT will be displayed on the status line. Insert is the default setting when typing in memory.
Insert enables you to add characters at the cursor position by simply typing the additional characters or words. Your text will shift to the right as each character is entered, automatically reformatting the text to conform with the current margins.
The overtype mode is accessed by pressing the INSERT key. The word INSERT will no longer display on the status line. Overtype enables you to type over existing text and replace it with newly typed characters.
The arrow keys are used to move the cursor when typing in memory. While it is true that the BACKSPACE key will allow you to move one character to the left in both the typewriter and memory mode. The FWD-* key becomes the INSERT key in memory mode. Below is a list of keys used to move the cursor when typing in memory:
Right Cursor ( ) Left Cursor ( ) Down Cursor ( o ) Up Cursor ( O ) EXPR (Express) RELOC (Relocate) CODE + Right Cursor ( ) CODE + Left Cursor ( ) CODE + Down Cursor ( ) CODE + Up Cursor ( O ) CODE + J CODE + FWD­CODE + BACKSPACE CODE + Index ( i )

Correcting Errors in Memory

There are several ways to edit text typed in phrase or text memory
as outlined below:
CORRECT
QUICK ERASE
CODE + QUICK ERASE
Deletes one character at a time to the left of the cursor. If the cursor is located at the left margin, the CORRECT key will position the cursor to the end of the previous line.
Deletes one word at a time to the left of the cursor.
Deletes the entire line to the left of the cursor
You also have the ability to delete an entire block of information
typed in phrase or text memory. This feature is explained on
page 82.
56
Page 67

Phrase Memory

The KX-E2500 will allow you to store up to 99 phrases. The length of each phrase is limited only by the available memory of your typewriter. Keep in mind however, that the phrase memory loca tions were designed to store small blocks of information such as names and dates, signature blocks, standard paragraphs, etc.
For example, if you were sending A&J Enterprises a multi-docu ment package which included a cover letter, an invoice, a ques tionnaire, and an envelope; rather than typing their name and address on every document, you could type it once in Phrase Memory and simply print it on all of the documents.
Another example of Phrase Memory is the use of standard para graphs. Many times you will begin or end a document with a standard paragraph. Rather than typing this paragraph each time it is required, you can store it in phrase memory and recall it when needed.
Phrase Memory is also used to store the text for headers and footers. The phrase number containing the header/footer is indi cated on the print menu and automatically inserted into the doc ument. You will learn more about headers and footers later in this manual.
Phrases are stored with no regard to margin formats. It is not possible to store margin formats in Phrase Memory. When a Phrase is recalled, it will conform to the current margin format. Below is a list of functions that can and cannot be performed in Phrase Memory.
Phrase Memory will accept: Phrase Memory will not accept:

Writing Phrases into Text Memory

The KX-E2500 gives you the ability to write all phrases 1-99 into
text memory. All phrases are read at one time, using the Write selection under CODE + 0. Once the phrases are written to a text memory, the text memory containing the phrases can be stored to. disk.
However, the text memory containing the phrases cannot be ac cessed. For this reason, the text name containing the phrases will not be displayed on the edit menu. The text file containing the phrases will be displayed on the list menu with an exclamation point (!) before the text name.

Text Memory

Main Menu Overview

Text memory is used to store lengthy documents. All the applica tions available on the KX-E2500 are designed for use with files stored in text memory. Text files are named by you and there is no limit to the number of files you can store in text memory. Your only limitation is the amount of internal memory available.
The KX-E2500 has simplified text handling. All text applications
can be accessed with one key—the MAIN MENU key. Below is an overview of the Main Menu.

Create

Create is used to store documents into text memory. The docu
ments in text memory are stored by file name. The file name can be any name you choose, as long as it does not exceed ten (10) characters.
The current margin and tab settings as well as the “X”, “Y”, and
“Z” rulers are recorded with each text you create. The KX-E2500 enables you to set your margins and tabs before accessing text
memory or you can edit your margin formats while creating your document.

Edit is used to recall a document stored in the text memory. The
real benefits of text memory are found in the text editing features. These are the features that will simplify your typing projects and give your work a polished look.
As you become familiar with the KX-E2500, you will find that the edit mode gives you a great deal of flexibility; and, in many cases
you will find that there is more than one way to perform a single
task. No one way is right or wrong, it is simply a matter of comfort.

Recalling a Text for Modification

There are two ways for you to recall a text for modification, the
first way is to simply recall the text by name. The second way is to display a list of all the files stored in memory and choose your
file from the directory.

Editing a Ruler in Text Memory

When a ruler is edited in memory, all text typed under that ruler
is automatically reformatted to the new settings. It is not possible
to store a new ruler setting while in memory.
The Edit Ruler procedure is the same in typewriter or memory
mode. Therefore, the FWD-^ key is used to move the printhead
to the right and the BACKSPACE key is used to move the
printhead to the left. Remember, it is not necessary to clear the
current left and right margin or hot zone before setting new ones.
The new settings will automatically clear the old settings. How
ever, unwanted tabs must be cleared by positioning the cursor on
the unwanted tab (represented by the letter “T”) and pressing
TAB CLR.

Changing Line Spacing within a Text

The line spacing selector on the keyboard controls the line spacing of your text during print out. Your text will always conform to the keyboard setting unless you have a line spacing command set within the document.
Let’s assume that you are creating a text in memory and your line space selector is set on single spacing. Your project requires one paragraph to be double spaced. Before typing that particular para graph, use the line space command to change thé setting to double space. This tells the system to override the selector setting on the
keyboard. When you have finished typing the paragraph, insert
another line space command to change the spacing back to single
space.
The line spacing command must be entered when the cursor is
positioned at the left margin. If you attempt to change the line spacing when the cursor is not positioned at the left margin, the
KX-E2500 will beep three times and display the message “CAN
NOT SET HERE.” Also, if a margin format is recalled or dual
column typing is entered, the line spacing must be changed after
these commands. You may also insert a line spacing command at
the beginning of the text to insure it always prints in the desired
spacing.
□
The screen only displays text in single spacing. Therefore, a line
spacing command will not change the appearance of the text on
your display. However, when you print the document, the selected
line spacing will be honored.

Hyphenation Scan

A hyphenation scan insures the proper appearance of your text. It locates each word that can be hyphenated. You must decide the proper hyphenation position and insert a soft hyphen (CODE +
-). The characters to the left of the cursor as well as the soft hyphen will automatically move to the end of the previous line when scanning in the JSTFY mode.
A soft hyphen will only print if it falls within the hot zone (between the bell and the right margin). Therefore, if the text is modified and the soft hyphen no longer falls within the hot zone, the hy
phenated word will print without the hyphen.

Search

Direct Search enables you to quickly locate each occurrence of a word or string of characters without scrolling through your text.
The KX-E2500 will find all occurrences of the word or character string. It ignores print attributes such as bold or underscore and
also ignores upper and lower case. Because it finds every occur rence of the character string, when searching for small words such as “the”, enter a space before and after the word on the search
menu so that only whole words are located. If a space is not entered, in this instance, it will also stop at words such as “thea­tre”and “them.” If searching for long words with a unique char acter string, it really isn’t necessary to type the entire word. For instance, if searching for a proper name such as “Cimilluca,” in the search string it is fairly safe to say that if “Cimi” is entered on the search menu, the cursor will advance directly to the name “Cimilluca.” If you are searching for a misspelled word, be sure to spell it incorrectly when entering the search string. In addition, the KX-E2500 also enables you to search for a manual return by entering CODE + RETURN in the search menu. If you enter two manual returns on the search menu you will be able to search paragraph by paragraph through your text.
When a search command is activated, the typewriter will search from the cursor position to the end of the text. For this reason, it is always best to search from the beginning of your document. The
cursor positions itself to the immediate right of the word or char
acter string entered. You can easily edit or delete the word
(QUICK ERASE) INDEX ( j, ). You also have the ability to search to a previous
occurrence by pressing CODE + REVERSE INDEX ( ^ ).

Global Search and Replace

Global Search and Replace is used when you have a name, date, or other word located throughout your document several times and you want it changed at all occurrences.
For example, you have a standard letter which you sent to Ms.
Diana Presepe stored in text memory. You want to take that same letter and send it to Mr. Gary Karpinski; however, Diana’s name is mentioned several times throughout the letter. Rather than scrolling through the document and deleting the name Diana every time it appears and inserting the name Gary, you could perform a global search and replace which would automatically exchange the name Diana with the name Gary.

Block Move, Copy, Delete, and Print

The KX-E2500 gives you the ability to move, copy, delete or print portions of a text simply and automatically. To do this, you must first mark the area of information at the starting point and at the ending point. Once you have done this, you must indicate to the typewriter what you want to do with this information. Let’s begin by learning how to mark a block of information.

There are several way to print a document with the KX-E2500. You can print from within a text file or phrase location. You can also choose to print only a portion of the text file as outlined on page 85. The KX-E2500 also gives you a Print selection on the Main Menu. In addition, the KX-E2500 also gives you the ability to print a document stored on the disk. Refer to page 213 for instructions.
The KX-E2500 enables you to define the number of printed lines per page and assign page numbering or a header and/or footer to print with your document. The following pages will explain all the print features available to you.

Page End

A page end command enables you to tell the typewriter how many lines you want per page. The Page End command can be set while in typewriter or memory mode. You can change the setting or turn it off and on at your convenience.
The page end setting is stored with the information typed in text memory. As you type in memory, a dashed line will appear on the screen indicating where the page will end. During print out, the prompt “PAGE END !!“ will appear on the screen. The printing will also stop allowing you to insert another sheet of paper and continue printing.
