Memory Mode

In Mem Mode, text appears on the display as you type. Text is being automatically saved so it can be recalled, reviewed, edited and/or printed. In memory mode, 24,000 characters or approximately 10 pages of double spaced text can be stored. You can create one file that uses all of the memory or share that memory to create several different files. You can erase files that are no longer needed to make more room in memory.

Memory Backup

Your Memory Typewriter is equipped with a rechargeable battery which supplies power to preserve your stored memory and format. The battery can preserve memory for a 60 day period under normal conditions. Storage of your typewriter in an extremely hot environment (above 100° F) can reduce the battery capacity. When you first use your typewriter after purchase, the 60 day level will not be effective until the unit has been on for a total of one hour. To maintain the 60 day memory backup level, your Memory Typewriter must be turned on, whether you are typing or not, for at least one hour every 60 day period.

Memory Remaining

Mem

Memory Remaining is shown on the display when you first enter Mem Mode. Once a file is named, it disappears and is replaced by the Cursor Position Indicator. However, you can easily check the size of memory remaining at any time.

Also, when there are 400 character spaces remaining in memory, the typewriter beeps three times. The display briefly prompts:

Mem = 400

When memory has no character spaces remaining, the unit beeps 3 times and briefly prompts:

Mem = 0

then text returns to your display. Switch to Type Mode to continue or erase some of your saved files to clear space in memory.

Checking Memory Remaining

You can check Memory remaining in the Type, Line, and Mem Modes. In Mem Mode, you must access the text display before checking memory

To check memory:

1. Press Code + R. The display momentarily prompts:

Remaining Memory = xxxx

(x = number of character spaces remaining.)

2. Release both keys and the display returns to its prior contents.

Forms Layout

Forms Layout allows you to quickly and easily fill out pre-printed forms you use frequently. If you often type on pre-printed forms, you know how frustrating it can be to line up text and type in the spaces provided. Instead of lining up text every time you use a form, you can create a form file that will remember the way you filled out a form.

Using Forms Layout, you create a file, which remembers the precise locations of text. This form file is saved in memory and can be recalled when you need to complete the form again. A form file is created by entering Stop Codes in the locations you will want to fill in differently each time you use the file and text in those locations on the form which will remain the same.

Below are illustrations of a form which can be filled out using Forms Layout.

Notice that the “Library Fund Drive” text is automatically inserted on each form while Stop Codes are entered in areas where text will be varied each time the form is filled out. When the form file is recalled for use, any text in the file will automatically align and printed on the correct line, and the print hammer will align and pause for you to enter text where required.

Aligning Text and Stop Codes

Do not use the platen knob to adjust the paper because the alignment will be incorrect. Use the cursor key combinations, Back Space, and

Return. Also, you can use Tab to move to tab positions. Do not use the Spacebar to position the print hammer. A space should be used as a part

of text, for example, to separate first and last names.

Micro Alignment

To precisely align the print hammer, activate the Micro Alignment feature before using the cursor key combinations. To activate Micro Alignment:

1. Press Adv, and then release.

2. Press the Code key and hold it down while pressing any of the

cursor keys listed below to make adjustments. Do not release the Code key until you are done using the cursor keys to adjust the paper. Cursors will make the following adjustments:

to adjust the typing position 1⁄60 of an inch to the left.

to adjust the typing position 1⁄60 of an inch to the right. to adjust the typing position 1⁄48 of an inch down. to adjust the typing position 1⁄48 of an inch up.

3. Release the Code key to deactivate Micro Alignment.

Creating a Form File

The dictionary may beep often while using Forms Layout because it does not recognize proper names. You may wish to turn the dictionary off while creating a form by pressing Code + (D).

To create a Form File, move the Selector Switch to Type Mode and follow the instructions below.

1. Set margins and tabs.

2. Move the Selector Switch to Mem Mode.

IMPORTANT: Precisely align the paper at the left paper alignment

mark, and use auto insert; otherwise alignment may be incorrect during printing. Also, do not use the platen knob to adjust the paper.

7. Position the print hammer on the form’s fill-in positions. (Be sure to

use only the cursor keys, Spacebar, Return, Back Space, and the keys described in “Micro Alignment” to position the print hammer.)

8. Type any text that will remain constant. Text will print on the form and appear on the display. When you recall the file to fill in the same form again, this text will automatically print when you are using the form file.

9. Press Code + Stop (S) to enter Stop Codes in areas that will change each time the form is used (see “Stop Codes”). If you mistakenly enter a Stop Code or text, you may use Correct, WordEraser, or LineEraser to make your corrections. To erase a previous stop code and/or text, locate cursor to previous sections.

NOTE: To prevent text from extending over into other areas of

the form, type spaces after the Stop Code. The total number of characters permitted to be entered at a Stop Code will then be limited to the number of spaces immediately after the Stop Code.

10. Press Code + Close (C) to save the file when you are done.

NOTE: Only one page can be created for a Forms Layout

document. To fill in a multiple page form, new files must be created for each page.

Append Files

You have stored text in two separate files. This feature enables you to join these two files together. Appending files does not erase the original file, but you may wish to erase the original file when the append procedure is completed.

Ordering ideas means to put them into a logical sequence. Order is very important because it shows the reader your line of reasoning thereby adding meaning to the information. for essays, commonly used methods of ordering information are: climactic, chronological, and spatial.

A thesis statement is the overriding message of an essay. It tells the reader exactly what it is you wish to say about the topic. A good thesis statement prepares the reader for the main idea to be discussed in the essay. You should compose the thesis sentence with care so it reflects the content of the essay.
