CHANGE OF THE MASK ROM
1. Model name: FW-710
2. General: The following defects were found in the mask ROM and it has been changed.
1) <WP RANGE INDICATION>
In case the last line of a text has no data and it is the borderline of a page, depressing the
DOWN KEY (for changing to the next page) in the range indication mode locks up the
machine.
2) <Spell lib rary>
In case of using the spell corrector, when more than 52 words among the stored words in the
user’s dictionary are presented as the substitutional words, drawing out the corrector locks
up the machine.
3) <Attributes of the WP characters>
Trying to return a character, whose attributes were changed, to DEFAULT by the key
[CHARACTER] after designating the range among the characters with default character
attributes shows "MEMORY FULL" message not to excute it.
4) <Printing>
When the print starting position of a certain line is situated 0.8 inches righter than the
last-printed position of the last line, the new line is not printed.
