GETTING READY TO TYPE
Type-right Machine Position
Your Type-right machine should be placed in the center of the desk or
table you select. The machine should be even with the front edge of
the desk or table. When sitting on the chair and facing the machine,
the bottom of the machine should be about level with the middle of
your stomach. Make sure your machine is neither too high nor too low.
Posture
Your body should be approximately an open hand's length from the
machine and centered between the G and H keys. Make your BACK
STRAIGHT, SHOULDERS LEVEL, AND LEAN A LITTLE
FORWARD. Place your FEET ON THE FLOOR with one foot
slightly ahead of the other. Keep your FINGERS CURVED (as if you
were going to scratch something), allowing only the tips to touch the
keys lightly. Your PALMS SHOULD BE RAISED and not touching
the frame of the machine, and your ARMS SHOULD BE BENT AND
RELAXED AT YOUR SIDES. Your HEAD SHOULD BE ERECT
and looking at the side of the machine where your book is located.
