MEMORY FUNCTIONS
This function allows you to type quickly and efficiently by
letting
you store frequently used phrases, long words, and
correspondence,
all of which you can later edit and print immediately. You can also create format files containing
margin and
tab
information.
The typewriter's memory stores 16,000
characters that
can be divided into a maximum
of 50
files. The contents of the
files in memory are maintained by a back-up battery for
about
five years, even when you turn off the typewriter.
You can create three types of files with this typewriter:
1) Text files ------------------for storing correspondence,
etc.
(including tabs and margins)
2)
Phrase files
---------------for
storing frequently used phrases and words
3) Format files --------------- For storing line formats (margin
and
tab information only)
Select the appropriate file according to your requirements.
