POWER ONIOFF SWITCH

The power ON/OFF switch is located toward the back left-hand side of the

machine. When turned on, the indicator light to the left of the keyboard

will he lit.

The typewriter will remember the last margins and tabs used when you turn the machine off. When turned hack on, the printer will move to the current left margin and the daisywheel will spin to position itself accurately.

CHANGING THE RIBBON CARTRIDGE

When you lift the top cover of your typewriter, you will see your printer,

ribbon cartridge and daisywheel. To remove the ribbon, press forward on

the blue lever to release the cartridge. Grasp the cartridge on both sides, lift

the front end up and out of .the machine.

To insert a new cartridge, place the tabs on the back portion of the ribbon into the two guides. Place the exposed portion in front of the printhead and snap into place.

Advance the thumb wheel on the cartridge clockwise until the ribbon slack is tightened.

CHANGING THE CORRECTION TAPE

To replace (he correction tape, lift out the typing ribbon cartridge and remove the two spools of lift-off tape. Place the loaded spool of new tape on the left pin (B) so that the tape unwinds in a counter-clockwise direction. Place the tape around the left ribbon guide (C) and behind both tape guides (A). Pull the tape around the right ribbon guide (D) and place the empty spool on the right pin (E).

Manually turn the right-hand spool counter-clockwise, tightening the tape until resistance is felt.

Replace the typing ribbon cartridge.

CHANGING THE DAISYWHEEL

To remove the daisywheel, pull the green lever (F), to the right of the

printer, towards you. Grasp the clear plastic cartridge and lift the

daisywheel out of the machine.

To insert the daisywheel, place the plastic cartridge in the carrier with the characters facing the platen. Push the green lever back into position.

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 six copies; position 3 is for six or more copies (dependent upon paper weight). Set according to your requirements.

AUTOMATIC PAPER INSERTION

The Panasonic typewriter is pre-programmed to insert your paper seven (7)

lines from the top of the page. Place your paper in the machine and pull the paper bail release lever toward you. Your paper is automatically positioned at line 7.

Should you wish to change the point of insertion, automatically insert your

paper as outlined above. Using the RETURN, INDEX ( -^ ), REVERSE

INDEX ( f ) keys, position the printer to the desired position. Depress

CODE->rA (You must hold down the CODE key while depressing the

letter A).

The typewriter has stored this position and will remain at this location until

you change the setting.

KEYBOARD LAYOUT

In order to simplify the explanation of the typewriter and its capabilities, the keyboard has been divided into three (3)

sections.

1. Character Keys

All alpha!nnmeric keys found on traditional typewriters, as well as Margin Release, TAB, Return, Backspace,

Cancel Shift and Shift Lock, Space, Repeat, Half Space, Index ( ^ ), and Reverse Index f f

2. Selector Switches

The Selector Switches are found to the top left and right of the standard keyboard and control various options. You have a Line Space selector, a MODE selector, a Pitch selector, an Impact Control selector and a KB l/KB II selector.

3. Function Keys

Additional keys to the left and right of the standard keyboard will automate some functions that are performed manually on traditional typewriters.

2. 1, 2,

CHARACTER KEYS

The character keys are those found on traditional typewriters. You will notice that some of the key-tops have second

symbols to the right of the normal characters. These are functional when using the second keyboard feature (KB !I),

which will be described later in the manual.

SEL E C T OR SW I T C HE S

LINE SPACING SELECTOR

This selector is located at the top left of the keyboard console. It is marked

/, P/2 and 2 and controls the number of lines between each RETURN.

In addition, you may choose from 3 different lines per vertical inch settings as outlined on page 39. The choices and their use are listed below.

5.25 - legal applications (court reporting) 6 - normal correspondence 8 - used in conjunction with 15 pitch

MODE SELECTOR

This selector is to the immediate right of the line spacing selector. It offers three modes of operations.

NORMAL Manual Return is required at the end of each line.

AUTO The carrier automatically returns after the first space or

CODE+ HYPHEN entered after the bell.

STOR Allows you to store margin formats. You cannot type

in this mode.

PITCH SELECTOR

On the right side of the keyboard is the pitch selector switch, indicating 10, 12 and 15. The pitch selector should correspond with the pitch of the daisywheel in the machine.

You have the choice of three (3) typing pitches.

10 12 15

Your typewriter comes standard with a 10 pitch daisywheel.

PICA ELITE

MIKRON 15 characters/inch

10 characters/inch 12 characters/inch

IMPACT CONTROL SELECTOR

Located to the right of the Pitch Selector, the Impact Control Selector allows you to choose from three positions: position L (light), M (medium), and H (heavy).

KB HKB II SELECTOR

This selector switch is located at the far right of the console, next to the Impact Control selector. KB I allows printing of normal U.S. characters.

KB II allows the printing of additional characters not normally associated with the U.S. keyboard (foreign language symbols).

To activate KB II and access the foreign language symbols (G), move the

selector switch to KB II. Any key-top with '‘extra" symbols are for use in

this mode. The characters are printed when the key is depressed.

The following symbols or characters are accessible in KB II when a "200

series" daisywheel is being used, instead of "extra” symbols: (N=<)

(n = >) (£=^) H ) (e = ^) d = §) (g=°)

U S I N G T HE T YP E WR I T E R

This section introduces you to the fundamental operations of the Panasonic typewriter. Read through it and do the

exercises to familiarize yourself with each operation.

MARGIN FORMATS

When you turn ON the typewriter, it will remember the last margin format you used. If you want to change the.se

margins and tabs, simply do the following:

TO CLEAR MARGINS AND TABS

Depress RETURN

The printer must be at the left margin to begin making changes to the margin format.

Depress CODE+TAB CLEAR

Tlte printer moves to the far left and clears the entire line, (both margins and all tabs).

TO SET MARGINS AND TABS

Depress SPACE BAR

This moves the printer to the new left margin position. When you have reached the desired left margin

Depress LEFT MGN

To position the printer at the first recjuired TAB stop.

Depress the SPACE BAR

Depress TAB SET

Repeat the last two steps for each TAB .stop required on the writing line. Remember, the maximum number of

tab stops on one tine is 29.

To position the printer (it a new right margin.

Depress SPACE BAR

To set the new right margin.

Depress RIGHT MGN

Depress RETURN

You may change the left and right margins as you would on a traditional typewriter, using the M.R., SPACE or BACKSPACE keys.

To change a TAB stop, you may do so by using the TAB CLEAR and TAB SET keys.

To clear only the tabs, you may do so by moving the printer to the first tab position and depressing CODE+TAB

CLEAR. Your margins are still on the writing line.

For the first exercise, be sure you set up the following:

The paper guide is at 0 The pitch selector is set at 10 (PICA) The daisywheel in the unit is 10 pitch

The MODE selector is set at NORMAL Depress RETURN Depress CODE+TAB CLEAR

Depress RETURN

Set the left margin at 15 Set the first TAB at 30 Set the second TAB at 45 Set the third TAB at 60 Set your right margin at 74

STORING MARGIN FORMATS IN MEMORY

Two different margin formats (margins, tabs and hot zones) may be stored in the memory of the typewriter for

repetitive use. You may name these formats Y or Z.

In Exercise 1 you have set up a margin format. Now you are going to store this format in memory.

Move the MODE selector to STOR Depress CODE^-Y In the future, this margin format may be recalled at any time by depressing CODE+ Y with the MODE selector

on NORMAL or AUTO.

Move the MODE selector to NORMAL or AUTO

Clear the existing format from the typewriter by depressing CODE+TAB CLEAR. Now, set up this ne.xt format and

store it under format Z.

Set the left margin at 11 Set the first TAB at 20 Set the second TAB at 33 Set the third TAB at 45 Set the fourth TAB at 54 Set the right margin at 64.

Depress RETURN Move the MODE selector to STOR Depress CODE+Z

This format is now stored in memory.

Move the MODE selector to NORMAL or AUTO

NOTE: The typewriter will beep 3 times if you attempt to type or set a new format while in STOR.

RECALLING MARGIN FORMATS FROM MEMORY

You should now have iwo margin formats in memory. These formats will be recalled several times throughout the

Practice Exercises. To recall a margin format, you must do the following:

Move the MODE selector to NORMAL or AUTO

Depress CODE+Y

The first margin format has been recalled and is ready to use. If you had depressed CODE+Z, the second

format would have been brought to the writing line.

When you want to change any of the stored margin formats, simply set new margins and tabs and store over the

previous format.

Remember, you NEVER position the mode selector on STOR to recall margin formats from memory (only to store them).

ADJUSTABLE ‘^HOT ZONE*^

The '‘Hot Zone" represents the number of spaces between the bell and the right margin. It is pre-programmed for 0.7 of an inch (7 spaces in 10 pitch) from the right margin. You may change the setting to within one inch of the right margin.

To change the setting:

Position the MODE selector to NORMAL

SPACE or TAB to the right margin BACKSPACE to the new bell position

Depress CODE-VRIGHT MGN

U S I N G T HE FU N CTI ON KE Y S

INDEX ( k ) AND REVERSE INDEX( T )

The INDEX ( ^ ) key allows you to advance the paper V2 line toward the bottom of the page. The REVERSE INDEX ( f ) key allows you to advance the paper V2 line toward the top of the page.

These keys are useful when typing superscripts and subscripts. You will also use them in conjunction with other

features discussed later in this manual. Type the exercise and follow the instructions listed below.

, th

The 4 of July is America's Independence Day.

To type this you would first enter "The 4” and then:

Depress the REVERSE INDEX f ^ ) key and type *7/i”

Depress INDEX ( ^ ) to reposition the printer on the actual typing line and continue typing.

MICRO INDEXING

Micro Indexing moves the printer incrementally (N-ts of an inch) up or down on the paper. This is extremely useful

when aligning the printer with pre-printed forms. The Forms Layout feature will he covered later in this manual.

To perform micro indexing:

Depress SHIFT+INDEX ( i ) or SHIFT+ REVERSE INDEX ( f ;

NOTE: Micro Indexing is not recorded in the correction memory.

CORRECTION MEMORY

The Panasonic typewriter has a maximum 500 character correction memory for automatic Uft-off. If you have typed

several lines and notice an error in one of the preceding lines, you may instruct the typewriter to make the correction.

Keep in mind that 500 characters are approximately two average paragraphs. When you have reached the end of the 500 character correction memory, your typewriter will alert you with three (3) “beeps". When this occurs, depress CODE+CANCEL ( ) i^nd make the corrections out of the 500 character memory.

CORRECTING ERRORS ON PAPER

The BACKSPACE key is used to move the printer one space to the right of the incorrect character and backtraces by line through the correction memory.

The CANCEL f <3 J key allows you to “lift" incorrect characters off the paper when an error has been made.

The EXPRESS key (EXPR.) moves the printer to the beginning of the line without line spacing.

The RELOCATE key (RELOC) moves the printer to the last printed character on the page after a correction has been made, or to the last carrier return.

Using the first stored line format (CODE+Y), type the following sentence using these keys to make the corrections. Do not RETURN at the end of the line.

Whne tpying quickly, a typist is likely to make mistakse.

Change “Whne" to “When"

“tpying" to “typing" “mistakse" to “mistakes"

MAKING CORRECTIONS WITHIN THE CORRECTION MEMORY

To cancel printed characters on previous lines:

EXPR. to the beginning of the current line

Depress BACKSPACE to position the printer on the line containing the error

This will advance the printer by line through the correction memory. If the printer is located at the beginning of

the line, depressing CANCEL f <3 ) advance the printer to the end of the previous line.

SPACE to position the printer one character to the right of the error

Depress CANCEL ( <^ ) to lift off the incorrect character(s) and.type the correction

Depress RELOC

NOTE: Once you have advanced into the correction memory, you may use RETURN to position the printer on

lines below the current line. If REVERSE INDEX f ^ ) is used to advance into previous lines, the correction memory will be erased.

MAKING CORRECTIONS OUT OF THE CORRECTION MEMORY

When you have reached the end of the correction memory, you will hear 3 ''beeps". To correct characters above that

point:

Depress C0DE3^CANCEL ( <3 )

This instructs the typewriter that you are going to correct out of the 500 character memory. Your printer will

automatically move to the left margin to allow you to begin making corrections.

Depress REVERSE INDEX ( f )

To position the printer on the line of the error.

Depress SPACE BAR to position the printer over the error

Depress CODEaCANCEL f<xj) once

Retype the incorrect character

This will lift the character off the paper. Type the correct character Repeat the steps outlined above for each incorrect character on the same line.

Depress RELOC This positions the printer at the last printed character or REl'URN.

* If you have more than one correction to be made out of the 500 character correction memory, you must RETURN

to position the printer at the left margin in order to REVERSE INDEX ( ]') to the next error.

NO PRINT WHEN MAKING MANUAL CORRECTIONS

When an error is out of the 500 character correction memory, the PRINT key may he used as a stencil key to re-enter text into the correction memory without reprinting. This feature is especially useful when correcting words or consecutive errors.

After reaching the end of the correction memory:

Depress CODE-VCANCEL to exit the correction memory

Depress REVERSE INDEX ( ^ ) to position printer on the desired line

SPACE to position printer over the first character of the incorrect character(s) Depress the PRINT key and retype the character(s) exactly as the appear on paper CANCEL ( <^ ) to delete the error(s) Retype correct character(s) Depress RELOC

Using the CODE-\-Y format, with the MODE selector on AUTO, type the following exercise including the errors. As you type, the printer will automatically return at the end of the line. You do not need to stop typing as the printer returns; it

will ^^catch” up with you. Upon completion, use the correction procedures you have just read. Be sure to first make the

corrections within the correction memory and then out of the correction memory.

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-

DECIMAL TABULATION

The DEC TAB key is used in place of the TAB key when typing statistical formats. It instructs the typewriter to automatically align numbers at the decimal point. For foreign statistical typing, you may choose to align numbers at the comma position (refer to page 39) instead of the decimal point.

To align decimal points:

Depress DEC TAB

The printer will move to the first TAB position.

Enter the number, decimal point and cents

Depress DEC TAB again

Your first entry will print and the printer will move to the next tab position.

Enter the next number and decimal point Depress DEC TAB

Repeat the last two steps until you have completed all of your entries.

Depress RETURN

Begin typing the second line of data

For practice, type the following, still using the CODE+Y format; set the MODE selector at NORMAL or AUTO.

CODED FONCTIONS

CODE KEY

The CODE key is used in conjunction with other keys to perform various automated functions. When performing

coded functions, you must hold down the CODE key while you depress the desired key.

Some of these coded functions you have already used: CODE+A is for setting automatic paper insertion, CODE+ Y and Z for recalling margin formats, CODE-BRIGHT MGN to set a new bell position and CODE-BXXX to underscore word by word.

The following exercises will teach you additional functions the CODE key offers.

HOLD PRINT

This feature allows you to instruct the printer to “highlight" certain words or characters for emphasis using a BOLD

print function.

Depress CODE+H and enter the information to be highlighted

Depress CODE+H again to deactivate the command

Bold print highlights words for emphasis.

SOFT HYPHEN (CODE+HYPHEN)

A Soft tiypen will allow you to hyphenate words that fall at the right margin when using the AUTO mode. This will “tighten" up your margins atid give a less ragged appearance. With this feature, the printer will automatically return if a coded hyphen is entered in the “Hot Zone".

To insert a soft hyphen:

Depress CODE+HYPHEN (-)

Using the CODE+Z format, type the following paragraph. Be sure your MODE selector is set at AUTO.

Soft hyphens are entered in the hot zone to pre-i 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.

PERMANENT SPACE

Because your typewriter has an auto return feature, there may he times you will not want to separate specific words such as cities and states or dates. Using a permanent space, the typewriter will recognize the group of words as one and not separate them when the printer automatically returns.

To enter this command:

Type the first word

Depress CODE+SPACE BAR

Type the next word

Type the foilwing paragraph using the permanent space feature. Be sure your MODE selector is set at A UTO.

Permanent spaces prevent names or dates from being separated. In instances such as San Francisco,

or New liork/ N.Y. or dates such as September 30/ ^;^36 you may instruct the typewriter to never separate these character or numbers onto different typing lines.

INCREMENTAL SPACE

An incremental space allows you to move the printhead I!6th of a space.

Depress CODE+HALF SPACE

CAPS LOCK

Normally, when you type infonnation in capital letters, you use the LOCK key and need to release it to type numbers. When this feature is activated, you may type capital letters and access numbers at the satne time without having to shift back and forth from upper to lower case. The lock key's indicator light will flash when this feature is turned on.

To activate CAPS LOCK:

Depress CODE+LOCK and type text

Every letter that you typed will be in CAPITALS and when you type a number, you will not receive the

symbols.

Depress CODE+LOCK to deactivate the feature

AUTO PAPER EJECT

After typing your project, you may instruct the typewriter to automatically eject the paper. It has been pre-program med for standard 8C2 X J! paper (66 lines) and will eject the paper based on that setting. If you are working with paper other than 8C2 x II, refer to page 39 for changing the page length.

To automatically eject the paper:

Depress CODE+V

PER!\4ANENT BACKSPACE

There may be times you will require overlapping of characters or numbers in a project. This is easily achieved using

another coded function, CODE+U.

Type the first character or number

Depress CODE+V

Type the character or number you want to overlap the first entry

EXAMPLE:

0 + (CODE +U) + / = ,0'

FORMS LAYOUT

The Forms Layout feature allows you to fill-in pre-printed forms easily and automatically. With the Panasonic

typewriter, you have the ability to store the layout of a form with specific tab stop positions once, and then recall it

whenever you need it. This will make it much easier for you to use those pre-printed forms that never seem to line up.

You may store two (2) forms with up to 8 stops on each form. If you try to set more than 8 stops, the typewriter will beep 3 times, alerting you that the maximum has been set.

When printing the form, the printer moves to the tab stop and waits for you to type the information. It will

automatically adjust for spacing and the number of lines used and remembers the exact position you set the next tab stop. You no longer need to continually RETURN to get to the next location, nor space over to the next box on the form where you must type information. Store the form once, and it is there for you every time you need it.

All of us use different types of forms and we do not necessarily have your particular one at hand. Therefore, we are

not able to provide you with specific exercises. It is extremely important that you use your own forms when working

with these instructions. Please, READ through the operational steps provided to get the most benefit from this time saving feature.

STORING THE LAYOUT

In order to begin, yon must first have one of yonr forms to work with.

Depress CODIi+TAIi CLEAR to clear existing margins and tabs

Set both margins at the edge of the form and depress RETURN

Remove the form from the typewriter

Depress CODE +EXPR. to enter forms layout

Type the number 1 or 2, whichever number you wish to assign

Remember, yon may store 2 forms with a total of 8 stops per form.

Auto insert the form

Using the following keys, advance the printer to the desired stop positions:

RETURN SPACE BAR BACKSPACE HALF SPACE

INDEX( ¿ ) REVERSE INDEX ( ^ ) SHIFT+INDEX SHI FT-^REVERSE INDEX

CODE+HALF SPACE (Incremental space)

Depress TAB SET at each .stop location

Depress CODE+EXPR. to end the form

NOTE: If the auto insertion point is changed after the form is set up, the programmed stops will not align

properly. Therefore, it is suggested that a blank form noting the original Insertion point he saved so the ifisertion point can be reset.

PRINTING THE FORM

Once you have stored the layout of a form, you may recall it at any time. You should always recall the form layout and then insert the form by using the Automatic Paper Insert feature.

Depress CODE+EXPR, Type the number I or 2, whichever number you assigned to the form Insert your form using the automatic insertion feature Depress ТЛИ

The printer will move to the first tab stop of the form.

Type the information required at this tab stop position

An INDENT (temporary left margin) is set at each tab stop. Therefore, if you type more than one line, the information will auiotnatically be aligned.

Depress TAB to reach remaining stop position

When you have reached the end of the form, your typewriter will “beep" 3 times. If you have another of the same

form to fill in, you may do so without recalling the form again.

Auto insert the next form

Depress TAB to fill in tab stops

Depress CODE+EXPR, to exit forms layout

CORRECTING ERRORS WHILE AT THE TAB STOP

If you notice an error while typing, depress the CANCEL f <3 J key to delete.

If there are several lines of text at one tab stop, you may use the same correction procedures as those outlined when making corrections within the correction memory.

If there is one line of text at the tab stop, CODE+REVERSE INDEX ( ^ ) will take you to the previous tab stop.

CORRECTING ERRORS AT A PREVIOUS TAB STOP

Depress CODE-\-REVERSE INDEX ( T ) to reach the tab stop containing the error

Space to error

Depress PRINT and retype error(s)

Depress CANCEL ( <^ ) to lift off character(s)

Type correct character(s)

CHANGING A STORED FORMAS LAYOUT

You may add or delete tab stop positions within a stored form whenever necessary. It is important to remember that

you may only store 8 tab stops per form.

ADDING TAB STOP POSITIONS

Depress CODE+EXPR. to enter Forms Layout

Type the number, 1 or 2

Insert the form using auto insert

Depress TAB until you reach the stored tab stop closest to where you want to insert a new tab stop

NOTE: If the new tab stop is to be inserted between an existing tab stop and the right margin, move the printer

to the desired location.

If the new tab stop is to be inserted between the left margin and an existing tab stop, depress INDENT to release the temporary margin and RETURN. Then move the printer to the desired location.

Depress TAB SET to set the new stop

Depress CODE+EXPR. to exit forms layout

NOTE: If you attempt to set an additional tab stop and hear 3 beeps, the typewriter is alerting you that the

maximum number of stops has been set.

DELETING TAB STOP POSITIONS

Depress CODE+EXPR. to enter Forms Layout

Type the number, 1 or 2

Insert the form using the auto insert feature Depress TAB until you reach the tab stop you want to delete Depress TAB CLEAR

The tab stop has been deleted.

Depress CODE^-EXPR. to exit Forms Layout

NOTE: If you want to delete al[ tab stops in a form, depress CODEd- TAB CLEAR after recalling the form you

wish to delete.

CHA NGING PA RAMETERS

You may change specific default parameters of the typewriter. Default simply means that certain settings are pre

programmed into the typewriter and will remain that way until you change them. The settings that can be changed are

fisted below.

To change the parameters:

Insert a sheet of paper

Depress CODT+P A series of numbers will print (60. 66, N, 6, P)

They represent:

60 - Page end (01-99 lines) - used with optional communication interface

66 - Paper length - total nutnher of lines on the paper (01-99 lines)

N - Paper feed control (N:none, T: tractor feed, S:sheet feed)

6 - Lines per vertical inch (5:5.25 - legal, 6:6 - normal, 8:8 - 15 pitch)

P - Dec Tab alignment character (P:decimal point, C. comma)
