Setting Up

Before you can use your typewriter, you must remove the packing materials from the carrier mechanism. This is essential to the proper functioning of your typewriter. Do not turn the unit on until you have released the carrier mechanism (10). Follow the steps listed below using the typewriter diagram for reference. The numbers on the diagram correspond to those in the instructions.

1. Remove keyboard cover (2) from the typewriter. The cover also functions as a paper support. (See “Paper Support.”)

2. Tilt the sound shield (3) toward you.

3. Remove the rubber band (left side first) from the tabs.

4. Remove the carrier restraint card.

5. Remove the ribbon cassette. If the typewriter ribbon is slack, advance it by turning the gear wheel on the bottom of the cassette in the direction indicated (see illustration).

6. Place the cassette back on the carrier, and return the sound shield to its original position. You will hear it snap into place.

Your keyboard cover also functions as a paper support.

1. Remove the cover from the keyboard if you have not already done so.

2. Turn the cover upside down and align the tabs with the slots behind the paper alignment mark (8).

3. Slide the tabs into the slots to provide an angled paper support for your typing page.

Turning the Typewriter On

The electrical cord is stored on the back of the unit. Remove the plug from the protective slot and unwind the cord for use.

1. Plug the typewriter into a proper electrical outlet. (Use the correct electrical current.)

2. The symbol indicates the unit is in Standby mode. This means your keyboard is inactive until you select ON (|). Move the power switch (4) to ON (|). The carrier (10) moves to the preset left margin.

Inserting Paper

NOTE: Your typewriter handles 12” wide paper and a 9” typing line. Standard bond paper stock is recommended for best quality. Copier paper, erasable bonds and very heavily textured bond papers do not print well with Correctable Film Ribbons. For these papers, we recommend High Density Correctable or Multi-Strike Film. If typing stencils, use those specifically designed for daisywheel printers.

1. Insert paper securely in the slot behind the platen (9) against the paper alignment mark. (For 12” wide paper, center on the platen area.)

2. Press Code + Left Shift/Paper In. Paper automatically advances to approximately one inch from the top of the page.

3. Advance the paper by using the Index Up/Down

feature or Return key.

4. Push the paper release lever (11) back, and straighten the paper if necessary. Return lever to original position.

Automatically Ejecting Paper

When you reach the end of a page you can automatically eject your paper by pressing Code + Right Shift/Paper Out key. The paper begins ejecting immediately.

NOTE: The platen may rotate a few seconds after ejecting paper.

Platen Knob/Variable Line Spacer

Rotate the platen knob to position the paper up or down at variable line positions. (You should not use this feature if you are using the end of page warning option.)

8 Smith Corona Corporation

Selecting Volume Control

The typewriter will sound a beep when you activate certain features or type a word the unit does not recognize (see “The Dictionary”). You can adjust the volume of these beeps by pressing and holding Code while pressing the V key until the volume setting you wish is reached or the volume is turned off. When turned off, no beeps will be heard. The volume has been set to a medium level at the factory. Each time you turn your typewriter on, it will be reset for the medium volume.

Turning the Typewriter Off

When typing is completed, move the power switch to Standby. We suggest you unplug the typewriter if it will not be used for an extended period of time.

If a word is hyphenated and the hyphen is followed by a carrier return, the dictionary will continue from one line to the next.

Example:

“Congratulations on the purchase of your new electronic typewriter.”

The word “electronic” would be checked. Only the root words of hyphenated words and

words followed by an apostrophe (’) or apostrophe S (’s) will be checked – not the placement of hyphens or uses of apostrophes.

Examples:

Mother-in-law (would be accepted.) Mother in-law (would also be accepted

although incorrect.)

Spell-Right will not check:

Capitalization (except as noted under capitalization check.)

Single characters Numbers Any non-alpha character

Spell-Right

1. Type text as usual. When you misspell a word or type one that is not found in the dictionary, a twotoned beep is heard, and the Shift Lock light flashes.

2. Press Correct or WordEraser. The corrected word will also be checked.

Turning Off/On Spell-Right

To turn the dictionary off: Press Code + (D). No beep is heard. To turn it back on: Press Code + (D) again. A beep is heard.

Code

WordFind

When you type very fast, you may type a few words after you hear the beep signal an incorrect word. You can use WordFind to locate an error made within Correction Memory. To Find an incorrect word:

1. Press Code + Find (F). The print hammer glides back to the incorrect word.

2. Press Correct or WordEraser.

3. Press Code + Find (F) to locate other errors. When you press Code + Find (F) and there are no more errors, the print hammer automatically returns to your previous typing position.

NOTE: Changing pitch in the middle of a line or using the Half Space feature deletes Correction Memory. After a pitch change or the use of a half space, the Find feature will not operate on text entered prior to the pitch change or use of a half space. The Find feature will operate only on the current line.

Other Features

Your typewriter also has Index Up/Down, and Auto Return.

Index Up/Index Down

Code

Down

Return

Back

Space

This feature moves the paper up or down in increments equal to the current line space setting. This feature is useful to maintain accurate line spacing when correcting errors on different lines. Also, it is necessary to use this feature instead of the platen knob when End of Page Warning is activated so the unit can keep track of lines. To use Index Up/Down:

1. Press Code + Up (6) to move the typing position

up (paper down).

2. Press Code + Down (7) to move the typing

position down (paper up).

NOTE: These are repeating keys. If they are held down, the paper will continue to move up or down.

Auto Return

You can program your typewriter to automatically return at the end of each line. When a space or hyphen is typed in the “warning zone,” which begins five spaces before the right margin, the carrier automatically returns to the next line. 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 (Back Space). Unit beeps.

2. Type text. Do not press Return at the end of a line.

Deactivating Auto Return

Press Code + Return (Back Space).

30 Smith Corona Corporation

Abbreviation Feature

The Abbreviation feature allows you to quickly insert a pre-programmed word or phrase into your document. For example, if you frequently find yourself typing “Best Regards,” you can insert its abbreviation, and the unit will type the phrase. A list of all the abbreviations available follows the instructions.

You may use Bold, Underline, or Caps Lock to enhance this text if you activate it before inserting the abbreviation.

NOTE: The Abbreviation feature can not be activated when the Auto Center or Decimal Tab features are activated.

To activate the Abbreviation feature:

1. Position the print hammer where you want the phrase to appear.

2. Press Code + Abbr (X) to activate the Abbreviation feature. A beep is heard.

NOTE: If you wish to exit the feature prior to typing in a label or after the first character of the label is entered, simply press Code + Abbr (X) to deactivate the feature.

3. Type the two-character abbreviation. Both upper or lower case characters are accepted. If you make a mistake on the first character of the abbreviation, press Correct or WordEraser. If the second character typed is incorrect, the unit beeps and the Shift Lock light flashes. Reenter the full twocharacter abbreviation again.

4. Phrase prints and the feature is deactivated. The abbreviation, however, will not print. Once the phrase is printed it will be in the correction buffer on the line.

System

SERIES

SERIES

Correctable

Right Ribbon

System

THE WARRANTY WILL BE VOID if the typewriter is damaged or rendered wholly or partially inoperable as a result of using a non-Smith Corona supply or accessory item(s).

Your Smith Corona typewriter uses Ribbon and Correcting Cassettes with the Right Ribbon System® feature. Smith Corona’s patented Right Ribbon System feature assures that the right combination of ribbon and correcting cassette is inserted in the typewriter.

Assures use of Correctable film with Lift-Off correction. Assures use of Multi-Strike film with Cover-Up correction.

For example: Correctable film ribbon with Cover-Up correcting cassette. If a mismatched set is inserted, the ribbon cassette cannot be fully or properly inserted into your typewriter.

The exclusive Right Ribbon System feature using the patented Smith Corona Ribbon and Correcting Cassettes is designed to make changing ribbons and correcting tapes quick, easy, and error-free.

Because of Smith Corona’s patented correcting tape feed mechanism, the lift-off correcting cassette has approximately two times the yield of spooled tapes found in other machines.

Replace the ribbon cassette when a different colored portion begins to unwind from the Cassette. Be sure to use the Right Ribbon System combination.

Correcting Cassette

WARNING: Use Smith Corona brand “H” Series supplies. Use of non-Smith Corona (brand or manufactured) supplies or accessories will not (except as noted below) void this warranty.

Correctable Film with Lift-Off Correction

When using Correctable film ribbon cassettes, use Smith Corona Lift-Off correcting cassettes. Lift-Off tape removes your errors quickly and cleanly. It will not remove the print of a Multi-Strike ribbon. Lift-Off correcting cassettes have a yellow cut-out on the lower right. See “Supplies and Accessories.”

Multi-Strike Film with Cover-Up Correction

When using Multi-Strike film ribbon cassettes, use Smith Corona Cover-Up correcting cassettes. Cover-Up tape covers your errors neatly and quickly. Cover-Up correcting cassettes have a pink cut-out on the lower right. See “Supplies and Accessories.”
