OPERATING PROCEDURES
'THE CARBON SHEETS
are fastened on the blades in the
same manner as on the standard forms carner. However,
it is important that the blades are parallel with the platen
when slight pressure is exerted on the rear of the blades
and. that the carbon is placed on the blades so that it
will be perpendicular to the platen. This will keep the
carbon away from the pins. When it becomes necessary to
tear off the· carbon paper you must reset the carbon shift
stop by moving it forward one form length plus approxi-
mately one inch as a safety factor before typing a form.
Type a complete form, then raise the platen and push the
carbon back until contact is made with the shift stop.
The stop is again picked up and moved back until the
desired amount of carbon to be destroyed is left in the
form just completed. The platen is then latched in its
down position and the form and the used carbon are tom
off together. The unused carbon paper is now even with.
the top edge of the forms.
If
the first writing line is con-
siderably below the top of the form raise the platen and
move the carbon shift stop to the rear until the top of the
carbon paper is just above this line. This will eliminate
excessive carbon paper waste.
