The first time you turn on your Memory Typewriter, a preset format is
activated. It is set for general typing purposes. These settings remain
active until you change them.

Margins and Tabs

Margins and tabs for both

Type

Mode and

Mem

Mode are set in

Type

Mode, but can be changed in

Mem

Mode when text is recalled for

editing. Margins and tabs are set using the typing scale which appears
on the display in

Type

Mode. A blinking cursor indicates the typing

position. The letter “L” indicates your left margin setting. The letter “R”
indicates your right margin setting.

NOTE:

In

Mem

Mode, the margins and tabs used when the text

is created will be saved with the text and recalled with it,
even if they have been changed.
