PART I OVERVIEW OF YOUR TYPEWRITER

This typewriter is a very sophisticated machine, you will find it easier to use and a lot more convenient than an ordinary typewriter. The two main differences between an ordinary typewriter and this machine are. 1) the LCD display, and 2) the spell checker. Usually, the characters you type will be immediately printed on the paper and the display will only show the various settings of the machine. The line you are typing is actively stored in the line correction memory to allow for easy corrections of the text already printed. Sometimes, the machine will need to know the contents of the line you are typing in order to print it at the correct position. This happens, for instance, when you are centering your text. In such a case, the text is temporarily displayed on the LCD. We will call this feature the "display mode". Listed below is a short description of the printing and display modes. When you switch your machine on, you are in printing mode.

1. Printing mode

The printing mode corresponds to the traditional way of using a typewriter: when a character is typed, it is printed immediately on the paper. The basic operations that allow you to start in this mode are described in the chapter "Basic Typing" (p.9).

When you use the printing mode, the characters you type do not appear on the display. The line correction memory actively records everything you are typing on the current line. With this memory, you can erase any letter, word, or even the whole line automatically. See "Memory Correction" (p.20) for more details.

The function currently activated by an arrow.

The following illustration shows you how the status indicators work. In this example, the pitch is set to 10 and the line spacing is 1. The shift lock mode, the word spell function, the word underlining, the boldface function are on. The typewriter is in typewriter mode. The auto carrier return is on.

2. Display mode

In this mode, the characters you type are shown on the display before printing. They will only be printed after you complete the line. In this mode, corrections are very easy. Since the text is displayed before printing, you may freely correct the text directly on the display.

This mode is automatically selected when you reach a decimal tab, or when you choose to print a line in centering or you choose the right margin flush feature. This is because the machine needs to know the entire contents of the line to be able to print it at the correct position on the paper. After the line is printed, the machine returns automatically to the printing mode.

You may also choose to work in display mode in order to enjoy the correction possibilities it affords. In that case, activate the line-by-line function. The line-by-line function will display your text until you finish typing the whole line. The line is then printed, and you may type the next line. At the certain point, you may want to check the current typing pitch or line spacing etc. Just press [CODE] + [ALT] to display the status indication in the display mode.

The first thing that you will need to do is to decide how you want your document to look when it is printed. To do this, go step-by-step through the following.

Inserting paper

BROTHER AX-475 - Inserting paper - 1

This machine is equipped with an automatic paper insertion function so that you do not need to use the platen knob to insert a sheet of paper.

1) Position a sheet of paper behind the platen and press [CODE] + [PINS] (A). The paper will be automatically inserted and will advance one inch. The prompt "PRESS RETURN" appears on the display.
2) Press [RETURN]. The prompt disappears and the carrier returns to the left margin.
3) If you want to change the position of the paper, use the index/reverse index function described next.

Index/reverse index

BROTHER AX-475 - Index/reverse index - 1

The index/reverse index function lets you move the paper up or down by 1/12 inch (one half line) in either direction.

Press [CODE] + [INDEX] (P) to raise the paper, or press [CODE] + [REV] (O) to lower the paper. To move the paper continuously in either direction, hold down the appropriate keys.

The paper can also be moved manually with the platen knob.

View Mode

BROTHER AX-475 - View Mode - 1

This function automatically moves the paper upward 1/12 inch (one half line) after typing so that you can easily see the typed characters.

Press [CODE] + [VIEW] (M) to turn the viewing mode on (you will hear two beeps) or off.

Viewing Mode ON

During continuous typing, the paper remains constant with the print unit on the typing line. When typing stops for more than 1 second, the paper moves upward so that you can easily view what you have typed. When typing continuous, the paper automatically returns to the correct typing line.

Viewing Mode OFF

During continuous typing and during viewing, the paper remains at the typing position. If the machine is turned off, the setting of view mode is changed to "off".

Selecting line spacing

BROTHER AX-475 - Selecting line spacing - 1

The line spacing determines the vertical separation between the printed lines. Increasing the line spacing results in fewer printed lines per page.

Preceiving [ALT] + [LINE] (2) changes the indication under "LINE" through the following cycle:

1 → 1 1 / 2 → 2 → 1

PITCH LINE WORD UNOLN OPERATE 10 15 1 2 SHIFT SPELL WORD BOLD AUTO 12 1 1/2 CAPS CONT LL

IndicationMeaning
1 (▲)Standard line spacing
1 1/2 (▼)1 1/2 line spacing
2 (▲)Double line spacing

Selecting pitch

BROTHER AX-475 - Selecting pitch - 1

The pitch determines the number of characters printed per inch, and should be selected to match the pitch indicated on the daisy wheel in use. Increasing the pitch results in more printed characters per line.

Pressing [ALT] + [PITCH] (1) changes the indication below "PITCH" through the following cycle:

1 0 → 1 2 → 1 5 → 1 0

PITCH LINE WORD UNOLN OPERATE 10 15 1 2 SHIFT SPELL WORD BOLD AUTO ▲ 12 1 1/2 CAPS CONT L/L

IndicationMeaning
10 (▲)Pica pitch (10 characters per inch)
12 (▼)Elite pitch (12 characters per inch)
15 (▲)Micron pitch (15 characters per inch)

Note: Be sure the selected pitch matches the pitch of the daisy wheel inserted in the unit.

Setting margins

The carrier movement is limited by the left and right margins (unless you press [ALT] + [M REL] (3) as explained below). Setting the margins allows you to decide where your text will be positioned on the paper.

Left margin

BROTHER AX-475 - Left margin - 1

1) Move the carrier to the place you want to set the left margin by using [SPACE BAR] or [BACKSPACE]. If you need to move outside the current left margin, press [ALT] + [M REL] (3).

2) Press [ALT] + [L MAR] (4). The left margin is now set.

Right margin

BROTHER AX-475 - Right margin - 1

1) Move the carrier to the place you want to set the right margin by using [SPACE BAR] or [BACKSPACE]. If you need to move outside the current right margin, press [ALT] + [M REL] (3).
2) Press [ALT] + [R MAR] (5). The right margin is now set.

Margin release

BROTHER AX-475 - Margin release - 1

If you try to move the carrier past a margin, a beep is heard and the carrier does not move. After you have set your margins, you may sometimes find it necessary to type outside these margins. You may also need to move the carrier past a margin to reset the margin.

To move the carrier past a margin, press [ALT] + [M REL] (3).

1) To move to the left of the left margin, backspace to the left margin, press [ALT] + [M REL] (3) and then continue to backspace.
2) To move past the right margin, hold [SPACE BAR] until the carrier reaches the right margin. Press [ALT] + [M REL] (3), then continue spacing using [SPACE BAR].

  • You may not move past the right margin with [SPACE BAR] if the auto carrier return function is activated. To turn this function off, see "Returning the carrier" page 17.
  • The shortest possible distance between the left and right margins is two inches (20 characters in Pica pitch, 24 characters in Elite pitch, and 30 characters in Micron pitch.)

Setting tabs

BROTHER AX-475 - Setting tabs - 1

Tabs are very useful when you need to type your text in columns. Once the tabs are set, pressing [TAB] automatically moves the carrier to the next tab so that you can easily type your data in perfectly aligned columns.

1) Move the carrier to the place you want to set a tab by using [SPACE BAR] or [BACKSPACE].
2) Press the [ALT] + [T SET] (6) to set the tab. A maximum of 12 tabs can be set (decimal tabs included).
3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 to set each tab stop.

  • The right margin is considered a tab position.
  • To replace a decimal tab (a special tab used to align numbers) with a regular tab, first clear the decimal tab, then set a regular tab at the same position.
  • If you want to use a decimal tab as a regular tab temporarily, simply press [CORRECT] at the decimal tab position. This does not change the decimal tab into a regular tab, but allows you to use that decimal tab just like a regular tab once.
  • For more details on Decimal Tabs, see page 13.

Clearing tabs

BROTHER AX-475 - Clearing tabs - 1

1) Using [TAB], move the carrier to the tab stop you want to clear. This may be a regular tab or a decimal tab.
2) Press [ALT] + [T CLR] (8) to clear the tab.

CAUTION: If you press [ALT] + [T CLR] (8) for more than half a second, all tabs will be deleted. A beep will sound three times.

Setting decimal tabs

BROTHER AX-475 - Setting decimal tabs - 1

When you want to print columns of numbers with their decimal points lined up, use the decimal tab set key.

1) To set a decimal tab, move the carrier to the place desired by using [BACKSPACE] or [SPACE BAR].
2) Press [ALT] + [DT SET] (7) to set the decimal tab.

- Pressing [ALT] + [DT SET] (7) at a normal tab position replaces the normal tab with a decimal tab.

Using decimal tabs

1) Press [TAB] to go to the decimal tab position. This message will appear;

4 DECIMAL TAB

The message disappears when you start typing.

2) Type in the numbers. They are not printed right away but appear on the display. The carrier moves backward for each number typed. (This lets you correct wrong entries on the display. For more details concerning correction in display mode, refer to the next section. p.29.)

3) When the decimal point is entered, or when you press [TAB] or [RETURN], the displayed numbers (and the decimal point if you used it) are printed.

4) Type whatever comes after the decimal point.

- Although the decimal tab function is mostly used to align numbers, it will also work in the same way as explained above if you type letters instead of numerals. This will align your words right flush with the decimal tab.

Cancelling the decimal tab mode

1) Before you have typed anything:

BROTHER AX-475 - Cancelling the decimal tab mode - 1

To cancel the decimal tab mode before you have typed anything, press [CORRECT] at the decimal tab position. The carrier does not move. You can now enter any character and it will print directly on the paper.

2) After entering some characters:

BROTHER AX-475 - Cancelling the decimal tab mode - 2

Press [CORRECT] until the numbers or the characters on the display disappear, then press [CORRECT] one more time. You may now start typing your text and it will print on the paper. The first character will be printed at the tab position (same as decimal point position).

3) Clearing the decimal tab:

BROTHER AX-475 - Cancelling the decimal tab mode - 3

To cancel the decimal tab altogether, press [ALT] + [T CLR] (8) at the decimal tab position.

Repeat function

The repeat function allows you to type the same characters many times by just holding down the corresponding character key. This is useful, for example, when you want to separate two parts of the text with a line made of “-” (hyphene).

To type a character repeatedly, hold down the corresponding key. The character will be printed once, then the machine will wait a short time (half a second) and then print the same character repeatedly until you release the key. The short delay is provided to prevent accidental repetition of the same character when you want it to be printed only once.

Typing uppercase characters

BROTHER AX-475 - Typing uppercase characters - 1

Uppercase characters are the capital letters, and the characters indicated in the upper part of the non-letter keys. For example, [A] (capital "a") and [!] (1) are uppercase characters.

1) To type one or a few uppercase characters, press either the right or left [SHIFT]. Releasing this key returns the keyboard to the lowercase mode.
2) For continuous uppercase typing, press [SHIFT LOCK]. This will set the keyboard in shift lock mode. To return to lowercase typing, press either the right or left [SHIFT].

Capital lock key (NOT AVAILABLE FOR USA VERSION AX-475)

BROTHER AX-475 - Typing uppercase characters - 2

The capital lock mode is a shift lock mode restricted to the letter keys. In other words, when you are in capital mode, pressing a letter key will give the capital letter, but pressing a non-letter key will give the lowercase character.

1) Pressing [CODE] + [CAPS] once puts the system in capital lock mode. This will enable you to type your text with capital letters while keeping the lowercase status for the other characters. For example, while in capital lock mode, you can type the following text without pressing [SHIFT].

MODEL NO. G17P89SRP

2) To cancel this mode, simply press [CODE] + [CAPS] again.
3) When you are in capital lock mode and need a character like [I], simply press [SHIFT] while typing.
4) If you need to type a string of non-letter uppercase characters (ie. [!], [@], etc.) while in capital lock mode, press [SHIFT LOCK] to set the keyboard temporarily in shift lock mode.

Hot zone

The hot zone is the area that starts six (6) spaces before the right margin and extends to the right margin. A warning beep will sound when the hot zone is reached. If you are typing a word that is too long to fit into the hot zone, you will have to either divide the word by using a hyphen, or shift the whole word to the next line.

Returning the carrier

BROTHER AX-475 - Returning the carrier - 1

Returning the carrier to the left margin advance the paper by the number of lines set with the line space selector (1, 1 1/2, 2). This machine is provided with an automatic carrier return function which, when activated, will return the carrier automatically when you type a space or a hyphen in the hot zone.

Pressing [ALT] + [OPERATE] switches through the following "OPERATE" options:

OFF (not displayed)→ AUTO → L/L → OFF

RITCH LINE 10 15 1 2 SHIFT WORD UNDLN OPERATE WORD SPELL WORD BOLD AUTO 12 1.1/2 CAPS CONT LL

IndicationMeaning
OFFPrinting mode, manual return only (typist must press [RETURN].)
AUTO (▲)Printing mode, auto carrier return function activated
L/L (▼)Display mode (line-by-line), auto carrier return activated

1) Returning the carrier manually

BROTHER AX-475 - Returning the carrier - 3

Regardless of the option selected with [ALT] + [OPERATE], pressing [RETURN] will always return the carrier. When the auto carrier return function is off (first option above), pressing [RETURN] is the only way to return the carrier. Holding down this key will feed the paper repeatedly.

2) Returning the carrier automatically

BROTHER AX-475 - Returning the carrier - 4

When the "AUTO" option is selected, the carrier will return automatically every time, [SPACE BAR] or [-] (hyphen) is pressed in the hot zone.

Note: When the "L/L" option is selected, the auto carrier return function is always activated. For details about these options, see "DISPLAY MODE" page 29.

- Permanent space

BROTHER AX-475 - Returning the carrier - 5

If you want to type a space in the hot zone without triggering a carrier return, press [CODE] + [SPACE BAR]. An example of when you would use [CODE] + [SPACE BAR] would be when you need to keep two words on the same line. For instance, April 9, 1995. In this example, you would press [CODE] + [SPACE BAR] after the comma to prevent the year from moving to the next line.

• Permanent hyphen

BROTHER AX-475 - Returning the carrier - 6

For a similar reason, if you want to type a hyphen while in the hot zone without activating the auto carrier return. press [CODE] + [-] (hyphen). For example, to type the telephone number 617-238-7098, you would press [CODE] + [-] (hyphen) after 238 if this hyphen is in the hot zone.

Backspacing

You may need to move backward along the line you have just typed. This is called "backspacing".

Your typewriter has three different backspace functions:

1) Simple backspace

BROTHER AX-475 - 1) Simple backspace - 1

To move back one space at a time, press [BACKSPACE]. To move continuously to the left, hold this key down.

2) Express backspace

BROTHER AX-475 - 2) Express backspace - 1

To move the carrier quickly to the beginning of the data you are typing, press [CODE] + [EXPR].

3) Half backspace

BROTHER AX-475 - 3) Half backspace - 1

The half backspace function is used to fit a correct word in a line after erasing a misspelled word that was one character shorter or longer than the correct word (example: replacing fomulas with formulas or minnor with minor).

Delete the entire misspelled word.

If the deleted word was shorter than the correct word, align the carrier up with the first letter of the deleted word; if it was longer, align the carrier with the second letter of the deleted word.

Press [CODE] + [BS 1/2] to move the carrier half a space to the left.

Type in the correct word. Because of the half-backspace function, the corrected word is perfectly centered within the blank space left by the deleted word.

MEMORY CORRECTION

Your typewriter has a full-line correction memory that makes corrections easier. As long as you are on the current line, the machine will automatically erase for you. In addition, you may choose to erase automatically a single character, one word, or the entire line.

Correcting one character

BROTHER AX-475 - Correcting one character - 1

1) Use [BACKSPACE] or [SPACE BAR] to line up the carrier with the mistyped character.
2) Press [CORRECT]. This automatically erases the mistyped character and leaves a blank. Super/subscripts, underlined and bold characters can be deleted with this function, as well as regular characters.
3) Type in the correct character.

- To erase a series of characters, merely hold down [CORRECT]. The carrier will backspace and correct continuously until you release the key.

Relocation

BROTHER AX-475 - Relocation - 1

The [RELOC] key allows you to move to the end of your typing line rapidly. Press [RELOC] to return the carrier to the place where it was before the correction.

Erasing one word

BROTHER AX-475 - Erasing one word - 1

The word out function allows you to erase one word at a time.

1) Using [BACKSPACE] or [SPACE BAR], move the carrier to the space right after the word to be deleted. (The △ triangle in the following illustration indicates the location of the carrier.)

cal formulas. Most people feel Δ

2) Press [W OUT]. This will erase the word, but leave the carrier where the first letter of that word was positioned.

cal formulas. Most people Δ

3) You can now continue with your text.

cal formulas. Most people are no longer familiar

  • If the carrier is positioned in the middle of a word, only the letters from that position to the beginning of the word will be erased.
  • This function erases super/subscripts, bold characters, and underlining if they are part of the word.
  • To interrupt the word out function while a word is being erased, press [CORRECT].

Erasing the entire line

BROTHER AX-475 - Erasing the entire line - 1

The line out function allows you to delete an entire line automatically. The line out function will delete the last line typed, as long as the carrier has not been moved to the next line.

BROTHER AX-475 - Cancelling the right margin flush mode - 1

1) Before you have typed anything:

To cancel the right margin flush mode before typing any text, press [ALT] + [RMF] (0). This returns the carrier to the last typing position if text has previously been entered on the line. Otherwise, the carrier returns to the left margin.

DISPLAY MODE

In this mode, characters are displayed before being printed. This permits you to correct the text on the screen, which is quicker and easier than making corrections on paper in the printing mode.

The display mode is automatically selected when using the decimal tab, centering, and right margin flush functions. For each of these functions the line is typed and displayed before being printed.

You may also take advantage of this mode without using one of the above layout functions by using the line-by-line function.

- The following keys cannot be used in display mode. You will have to switch back to the printing mode if you want to use them.

KeysFunction
ALT + M RELTo move past a margin

Line-by-line processing

BROTHER AX-475 - Line-by-line processing - 1

"Line-by-line processing" means that the contents of the line will always be displayed on the display before being printed on paper. In this mode, the auto carrier return function is always activated.

Pressing [ALT] + [OPERATE] switches through the following "OPERATE" options:

OFF (not displayed) → AUTO → L/L → OFF

- It is impossible to select the line-by-line mode if the carrier is not between the margins.

L/L (▼)Display mode (line-by-line), auto carrier return function activated

1) Press [ALT] + [OPERATE] until "L/L" is selected.
2) Type your text. The carrier moves for each character entered. Input characters are not printed right away, which means that entries can be corrected before being printed. See "Correction in display mode" (p.31).
3) Pressing [TAB], [L IND] or [RETURN] prints the text and moves the carrier to the next tab, to five (5) spaces to the right of its current position or to the next line.

  • In line by line mode, the automatic carrier return function is always activated.
  • Pressing the hyphen key in the hot zone displays a "ghost hyphen" (3-dot hyphen). This hyphen does not trigger a carrier return immediately as in printing mode. However, if you type anything after this hyphen, printing and carrier return will be triggered. The hyphen will be printed at the end of the line, and the character you typed after it will appear at the first position of the display.

4) To cancel the line-by-line mode, print the displayed text, then press [ALT]

+ [OPERATE] to delete the indicator under "OPERATE", or to select the "AUTO" mode. This turns the display off and recalls the printing mode.

PART II SPELLING CHECKER

Important notice: This system is not a replacement for careful proofreading of your documents. It has no way of knowing, for example, whether words are missing or whether a given word is appropriate for the current syntactic or semantic context. If you type "teh" instead of "the", the program alerts you because "teh" is not a valid English word, but if you type "one" instead of "on", it does not consider it a mistake.

The spelling programs contain materials owned, developed, and copyrighted by Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Reproduction or disassembly of embodied computer programs or algorithms prohibited. Based upon The American Heritage Dictionary.

To turn the Word Spell on and off: Press [ALT] + [W SPELL] (±).

PITCH LINE WORD UNDLN OPERATE 10 15 1 2 SHIFT SPELL WORD BOLD AUTO 12 1 1/2 CAPS CONT I.I.

When you switch the machine on, the Word Spell is automatically switched on.

When the Word Spell is on: While typing, pressing one of the following keys signals the end of a word and activates the automatic spell check:

[SPACE BAR], [CODE] + [SPACE BAR], [RETURN] (except when there is a hyphen at the end of the line), [/], or more than two periods.

You will hear three beeps whenever the word is not found in the dictionary. Check the word, and correct it if necessary.

At a certain point, you may want to recheck the words on the current line in the direct printing mode.

The line you are typing is stored in the memory until the carrier is moved to the next line so that you can recheck the words. We will call this feature the "FIND" function. The "FIND" function can be activated only in the printing mode.

Press [CODE] + [L] to recheck all the words on the current line. The carrier will move to the end of a misspelled word. The FIND function works even when the Word Spell is turned off.

You can also recheck a word on the current line with following operation.
