Backspacing

There are four types of backspace keys: normal, fractional, permanent, and express.

Normal Backspace

f^KSPACE

______

Pressing BACKSPACE moves the carriage one space to the left. Hold the key down

for quick movement to the left.

NOTES:

• When the text is displayed, BACKSPACE deletes the character to the left.

If the carriage is positioned in the middle of a character, pressing BACKSPACE

moves the carriage to the beginning of the current character.

• /f BACKSPACE is pressed when the carriage is on the left margin or on the left

end, the typewriter beeps. Pressing CODE + M REL allows the carriage to go
beyond the left margin.

- BACKSPACE

is used in type mode to combine two characters like

O

and/to

create 0. Type the first character, press BACKSPACE, and finally type the
second character. This will not work once the text is displayed. (See “Permanent
Backspace" on page 107.)

CODE + BS1 moves the carrier back by 1/60 inch and allows you to precisely position
the carrier for

corrections when you have to

reinsert

your

draft

or when you

want to

correct a previous line with uneven spaces between words. This key is also useful to

line up your carrier exactly on a point on a preprinted form. The following table relates

the

1/60

inch backspace with the selected pitch. You can also use this function to type

Roman numerals (which need unusually small spaces between characters).
