input words from the keyboard as usual.
2
When you end a word (by pressing the Space Bar
or RETURN Key, etc.), it will be checked.
•
If the word is not contained in either the main
dictionary or the user's dictionary, the type-
writer will judge it to be a misspelled word, the
buzzer will sound, and the word will flash on the
LCD Display.
•If
the word is found in either the main
dictionary or the user's dictionary, the buzzer
will not sound and the LCD Display will remain
unchanged.
•If
the RETURN Key is pressed immediately
after typing a misspelled word, the buzzer will
sound but the word will not flash on the LCD
Display.

Correct the misspelled word.
The corrected word will also be checked.
Word Endings
Spell Verify checks a word when it has been com-
pleted. The typewriter judges that a word has been
completed when you perform one of the following
operations:
—When you press the Space Bar after a word
—When you press the RETURN Key
—When you press a function key to move the carriage
or cursor (TAB, FWD, etc.)
—When you perform Right Margin Flush or Center-
ing
•When
you press the RETURN Key following a
hyphen at the end of a line, the word will be
connected to the beginning of the next line, and will
be spell-verified as a single word.
Spell Verify Function checks spelling according to the
following rules.
• Numbers and symbols are also treated as part of a
word. For example, "etc" is treated as a mistake,
while "etc." is judged correct.
• Symbols before and after a word such as " (quota-
tion mark) and ? (question mark) are first removed
from the word before it is spell-verified.
For example, "Hello!!" is judged correct, but
"Hallo!!" is judged incorrect.
• Some punctuation errors are detected. For example
"word:)" is judged as an error and the buzzer will
sound.
• A word consisting of several words joined by
hyphens, such as "mother-in-law", is spell-verified
as a single compound word.
• Spell verification takes into account the difference
between capital letters and small letters. If you type
[spell. Spell, SPELL]
all of these words will be judged correct. This is
because when a word is at the beginning of a
sentence, it starts with a capital letter, while if it is
part of a title it consists entirely of capital letters. If,
however, you type [SPell], it will be judged incor-
rect.
• In the case of words which always begin with a
capital letter, such as America, both "America" and
"AMERICA" will be judged correct, however
"america" will be judged incorrect.
Sometimes the buzzer will sound even if you type a
correct word.
The reason for this is because the word is not in the
main dictionary.
If the word is one which you use only very occasional-
ly, you can ignore the buzzer and continue typing. If
you use the word fairly frequently, it is a good idea to
register it in the user's dictionary.
