USING WIDE MARGINS
The standard setting for margins is 1 and 65. There may be times when you want to
use a right margin greater than 65.
The 820-II's screen can show up to 80 characters on a line (margins of 1 and 79). If
you set a right margin greater than 79, any characters typed after the 79th will be
shown on. the next line. However, when the line is printed, it will print as one long
line.
To tell you that a line is continued onto the next line, your screen will display a
+
(plus sign) as the 80th character on a long line (see the picture below). The plus sign
will not print; It only shows on the display to let you know the line is continued.
The 820-11 can accommodate dcuments with wide margins just as easily as documents+
with narrow
margins. All you need to do is decide what margins you want in your document and set+
them on the
Ruler Line. Then type the text, letting the 820-11 put in the returns for you at the end+
of each line.
If
you have a Xerox (Diablo) 630 printer, you can print up to 130 characters on a line
using 10 pitch (the standard pitch). If you change to 12 pitch, you can print up to 156
characters on a line.
If
you are using some other printer, the 820-11 system will allow you to print up to 240
characters on a line.
Note:
If
you want to turn the paper horizontally to print a document that is over 8Y2
inches wide, you'll need to change the paper length. The standard paper length is 11
inches. When you turn the paper horizontally, you'll need to change the paper length
to 8Y2. Directions on changing paper length are on page 5-31.
