Paper Bail
The paper bail is the metal bar with rubber rollers
that extends across the platen.
The paper bail holds paper firmly against the
platen Pull the paper bail forward when you insert
paper. Push the paper ba il back, against the
platen, to hold the paper in place while you type.
Copy Guide and Copy Guide Scale
The black metal copy guide and its scale are
located behind the paper bail next to the platen.
The copy guide prevents the paper from winding
back around the platen. The guide also provides a
flat surface for erasing.
Using the copy guide scale, you can easily center
paper in the typewriter. The marks on the scale
start from zero in the center and go up in each
direction.
To center paper:
Insert the paper so that its left and right edges
touch the same number on the scale. For example,
to center standard-size paper (B Y ," x
11 "),
each
edge of the paper should touch
4
1 /4 .
