Closing the carryingcase
To replace thelid, reversethis procedure, not forgetting to
centre the carriagefirst (see next paragraph) and,if neces-
sary,lower the paper supports (19).
-
Freeing and locking (centering) the carriage
a) The carriage is locked ; to free it, press the lever 33and
at the sametimepull the carriage tothe right until the
ever becomes disengagedfrom the notch.
b) To lock(centre)
the carriageagain,maintainpressure on
thelever 33 with the forefinger, whilst resting the thumb
against the small plate 34,oronthe Media 3 onthe
knob 35,soasto brake therunofthe carriage.When
thecentreposition is reached, the carriagewilllockauto-
matically.
Paper insertion
Having raised the paper supports (19), insert the paper
between the platen and the papertable(27).When the paper
is firmly held, turn the platen bythe right or leftknob (35
or 10)so that the paper feeds in.Forthe best results, see
thatthetransparentcardholders(20and24) cover thelargest
area of paper possible atthe moment of introduction, and
that the rubber rollers (17and29)ofthe paperbail (23)are
sufficiently close to each other, particularly inthe case of
anarrowsheet of paper ora postcard.Theserollers maybe
positioned anywhere tothe left or right.

Paper supports
This feature(19) preventsthe paperfrom cominginto
contactwiththebackofthe machineorfrom touchingthe
table. Itis particularly usefulwhen typing stencils.Italso
enablesonetosee clearlythe written text.To bringthe
paper supportsinto position,onehasmerelyto raiseone
of the twoarmsrestingagainstthebackprotectionplate(28).
Transparentcard holders (guide lines)
Thecard holders(20 and 24) allowonetotypebothatthe
