Half Space
The Half Space feature is used when making
corrections when you omit a character or type one too
many. When the Half Space feature is activated, the
typing position moves a half space to the right.
Regular spacing returns when the Half Space feature
is deactivated.
NOTE:
When you activate the Half Space feature, the
character Correction Memory is erased. The typewriter
remembers the half spaced characters until the Half Space
feature is deactivated. Then, the typewriter begins to
remember normally spaced characters again.
