How to Use an Electronic Typewriter

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Plug your electronic typewriter into an outlet with the correct voltage;

   Refer to the manuals to find where the switch is.
   
   Some switches may be at the front or at the side of the typewriter. , The typewriter does that so that the daisy wheel and the ribbons are in the correct position. , This is to ensure that the platen of the typewriter won't be damaged.
   
   One paper will go next to the platen to protect it from damaging and the other one is on top for typing.
   
   Insert the paper according to the manual.
   
   You may use the knob, automatic paper insert or hold down the return key. , Most electronic typewriters have the new button for setting margins. ,, Be sure that you press the return key every end of the line to move to the next line.
   
   Otherwise, it will just beep in there.
   
   Most electronics have the Lift off feature.
   
   It removes typos (errors) off the paper when you press the key.
   
   Then you can type the correct word/character after it lifts the error off.
   
   Some electronic typewriters have the Automatic carriage return.
   
   When you reach the end of the line, the carrier will automatically return by itself. ,,,
