Impression Control
Impression control is the force used by the print
mechanism to strike the paper. When you turn the
typewriter on, impression control is set at medium.
You can change to light or heavy impression. It is
recommended that you select heavy impression when
typing stencils or carbons and when using Script or
Orator printwheels. For normal typing, use medium
impression. To set impression control:
Press Code + L for light impression.
Press Code + M for medium impression.
Press Code + H for heavy impression.
The unit beeps when Impression Control is changed.
NOTE:
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.
End of Page Warning
You can program your typewriter to beep 1” from the
bottom of 11” paper. After you hear the beep, do not
attempt to add additional lines of text. To set the End
of Page Warning:
1. Press Code + P. End (P). Unit beeps.
2. Insert paper using Code + Paper In (Shift).
IMPORTANT:
Do not use the platen knob while using the
End of Page feature. If you do, the line count will be
inaccurate. Use the Automatic Paper Insert feature to
insert paper. To adjust the typing position, use Code +
Index Up
, Code + Index Down or Return. The line
counter is reset each time you use the Automatic Paper
Insert feature.
Deactivating the End of Page Warning
