Forward Correction

To correct several characters or word(s) not in the correction memory buffer.

1.Position the print hammer to the first character in the series to be corrected using Code + , Code + , Code + , Code + , Spacebar, Return, and Back Space. Do not use the platen knob to position the print hammer.

2.Press Code + Correct twice. Two beeps are heard, and the display prompts:

Forward Correct.

At this point you can cancel correction by pressing Return.

3.Retype all the characters or words to be deleted. (As you type, the typewriter erases each character. You may have to adjust your typing speed so that the typewriter removes characters correctly.)

5.Type the correct characters or words.

6.Press Code + Reloc (Return) to quickly return to your previous typing position.

The Half Space feature is used when making corrections not in the correction memory buffer when a character has been omitted or when one too many characters have been typed. When Half Space is activated, the typing position moves a half space to the right.
