Auto Return

You can program the Memory Typewriter to automatically print each line of text when the right margin is reached. When a space or hyphen is typed in the “warning zone,” which begins five spaces before the right margin, text automatically prints, the carriage returns to the left margin ready for the next line, and the display clears. For lengthy words falling at the end of the line, simply type a hyphen as you normally would and the carrier returns automatically. To activate Auto Return:

1. Press Code + Return (1). Unit beeps, and the Status Line prompts

Auto Return ON.

begin before the margin is reached.

Character Swap

Character Swap allows you to reverse the order of adjacent characters on a line still on the display. For example, if you typed “Teh,” you could reverse the “h” and the “e,” to produce “ The.” Character Swap will transpose lower-case and upper-case letters without changing the case. Also, Character Swap will swap bold and underlined characters, retaining the enhancement of the character.

This feature is inactive when typing text in a special field (e.g., Auto Center) or when you are using List and AutoSpell.

1. Position the cursor on the second of the two characters to be swapped. (The cursor must be on the character, not the space following the character.) For example, to swap “eh” as in the example above, position the cursor on “h.”
