1.3 POWER SUPPLIES
The 2-way power supply of CASIOWRITER allows the unit to be powered by batteries
or standard household current (using an optional AC adaptor). Power is switched ON
and OFF using the power switch on the leftside of the unit.
BATTERIES
The unit is capable of being powered by four D-SIZE batteries.
1. Ensure that the power of the unit is OFF.
2. Open the battery compartment cover on the
bottom of the unit by sliding it in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow.
3. Load the four batteries ensuring that polari-
ty is correct.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.
*Remove batteries from the battery compart-
ment when the unit is not used for extended
periods. Battery leakage can damage elec-
trical components.
*Always replace all four batteries.

AC ADAPTOR (Option)
Connection of an optional AC adaptor
(AD-4845) allows the unit to be powered by
standard household current (mains).
*Always ensure that the power of the unit is
OFF when connecting or disconnecting the
adaptor.
(Option)
*Use only the specified CASIO adaptor to pre-
vent damage to the unit.
*Adaptors normally become warm when con-
nected to the power source. This is not cause
for worry, but adaptors should be disconnect-
ed whenever the unit is not used for extended
periods.
AUTO POWER OFF FUNCTION
An automatic power cut-off function activates approximately 6 minutes after the last
operation of the unit, even when the optional AC adaptor is being used. Power can
be restored by switching the power of the unit OFF and then ON again, or by pressing

spools from turning.
2. Use your finger or apencil to wind the rib-
bon past the leader. Always ensure that the
exposed portion of the ribbon is taut.
3. Press +to bring the carrier to the
center. At this time, the message ‘Change
Ribbon" appears on the display.
4. Open the hood by lifting it up.
5. Place the cassette onto the carrier and press
gently until it snaps into place. Ensure that
the printhead enters between the exposed
ribbon and the cassette.
6. Replace the hood.
7. Press either or ¥to clear
the display and return the carrier to the next
typing position.
*Store cassettes in acool, dry place.
*Ribbon cassettes are not required when ther-
mal paper is employed.

1.5 PAPER

sette ribbon, or on thermal paper (without cassette ribbon). Load paper into the unit
using the following procedure:

3. After the top of the paper appears, pull the
paper release lever to release the paper and
then align the top corners of the paper with
the bottom.
4. After the paper is aligned properly, return
the paper release lever to its original posi-
tion and move the top of the paper down by
turning the platen knob.
*Always keep the hood closed when typing.
*Paper sizes up to awidth of 220mm can be used.
*When using thermal paper, ensure that the shiny side of the paper is facing the print-
head when in the CASIOWRITER.
*Roughly grained papers do not produce satisfactory results.

2.1 KEY IDENTIFICATION CHART
Each Casiowriter key produces four characters,
though letter keys show only the one, most com- lid +
monly used letter they represent. Pressing
will result in either acapital letter or common
punctuation sign. All keys automatically repeat
their respective functions when held down.
Normal
Figure 1
The Casiowriter also has aCODE key (), that types adifferent letter or symbol
when pressed along with another key. +(sw) +character key will produce stilt
more characters (Figure 1).
The Casiowriter produces punctuated characters, such as [fi] or [U]; and also produces
accents, tildes, umlauts, and other superscript punctuation alone: ["[. [7], ["],["], and
["]. When you type any of these, the Casiowriter automatically waits for input of the
ae aFor instance, to type [E], you press +(7] (the keyin Figure 1),
+E].
Certain other keys are used to control typing, editing, and memory functions when used
in combination with the
[CMD]
key.

2.2 AUTO TEST FUNCTION
The auto test function produces a hardcopy that demonstrates the print functions of
the CASIOWRITER.
1. After loading paper into the unit, turn on power while holding down the key.
2. The following should appear on the paper:
The Next Generation Typewrlter

*SPELL CHECK lets you know the misspelled word as well as the
correct spelling. Words are checked against a50,000 word
dictionary that memorizes up to 130 additional words.
*DISPLAY CORRECTION lets you correct up to afull line before
printing. The entire text can be corrected in memory and
reprinted.
*TWO DOUBLE-SPACED PAGES of typing can be stored in the internal
text memory -even when power is off.
*DOUBLE WIDTH, bold, underlining, 10 or 12 pitch, are
all included as well as extra features 1ike the following :

Besides this, other symbols and messages appear to provide important information and
prompts that help to ensure proper operation.
2.4 DISPLAY CONTRAST CONTROL
Use the display contrast control on the right-
side of the unit to adjust the darkness of the
characters appearing on the display. Rotating
the control towards the back makes the display
darker, while rotating it towards the front makes
the display lighter.

2.5 PRINT DENSITY ADJUSTMENT
DENSITY
KEY OPERATION: CMD) +|X
1. Press +[@to enter the print density adjustment mode. At this time, the display
should appear as follows:
2. Enter avalue from(1](lightest) through (5] (darkest) to adjust print density. Entering
[P)(upper case or lower case) produces a demonstration print of the available densi-
ties and returns to the print density adjust mode.
Density:1 Density:2 Density:3 Density:4 Density:
3. Press any key to return to the mode in effect prior to the print density adjust mode.
*The print density adjust mode can only be entered when the printhead is at the left
margin or when the current line contains only spaces.
*Density values 1through 5can be entered by pressing the corresponding keyboard
key, regardless of the shift lock status.
2.6 HOT ZONE AND WORD WRAP
The "hot zone'' is an area that extends from apoint eight spaces from the right margin
up to the margin itself. Abeep will always sound automatically when you enter the hot
zone while typing.
In the direct print mode (see 3.1), this will signal that acarrier return is required since
you are nearing the right margin. If you continue typing without acarrier return, the
printhead will stop when the right margin is reached. (See MARGIN RELEASE, 3.9.)
In the line print (see 3.1) and memory modes, entering the hot zone will cause the unit
to search back in the line for the last space or hyphen. Once you reach the right mar-
gin, the unit will automatically break the line at the last space or hyphen and wrap all
subsequent text to the beginning of the next line.

*Word wrap does not function properly when very narrow margins or very long words
are used. Asingle word whose length exceeds the space available between the left
and right margins is automatically cut off at the right margin, and the cut off portion
is printed on the next line.

The unit should be initialized by holding down the (dH) key while switching power ON
after replacing batteries. This procedure can also be used to clear memory. See page
45 for initialized function settings.

BASIC OPERATION
This section explains the basic typing operations of the CW-16. Besides the standard
pitch, margin and tab settings, the CW-16 is also equipped with avariety of print modes
to suit the specific typing job being performed. The operation described in this section
can also be used in the memory mode (see page 29).

hot zone is entered (see 2.6). Another beep sounds when the right margin is reached,
and further inputis impossible. At this time, press either or (4H(see 3.9). Pressing

Prints everything typed on the keyboard after is pressed or when aspace or hyphen
is typed after entering the hot zone (see 2.6), resulting in an automatic carrier return.
The 15 most recent characters typed are also shown on the display.
Corrections can be made on the display before the current line is printed. Entering
spaces from the beginning of aline causes the carrier to move along the platen with
each space entered, Carrier movement stops when any otherinput key (besides the
spacebar) is pressed. The line print setting is retained even when the power of the unit
is switched OFF.

the character spacing for the two available pitches. The maximum line length in Pica
is 80 characters, while the maximum line in Elite is 96 characters. These values are
halved when double width characters (see 5.2) are used. Pitch settings are retained
