The Column Alignment Scale is on the top of the ribbon support platform. It is

of additional 10 CPI characters.
Unlock the right tractor and move it so that the paper's holes align directly
over the tractor pins, making sure that the paper is straight, then close the
tractor door. Gently push the tractor to the right until the paper is smooth.
Unlock the left tractor and, keeping the paper reasonably taut, holding onto
both tractors, move the paper to the left or the right until it is roughly aligned
with the desired mark on the Column Alignment Scale. Lock both tractors.
