sloping characters.
• On the single-frame or 3-frame pad, write lower case characters smaller to
distinguish between identical-looking upper and lower case characters such
as upper case “C” and lower case “c”. Small characters such as the small “っ”
should also be written smaller.
• Write English letters in block form and do not attach ornamentation to the
ends of strokes.
• When using frameless entry, write English characters separately, one at
a time. You cannot write in cursive style or return to previously formed
characters to add dots or crosses.
• When using frameless entry, write words on a single line. You cannot write
on two lines.
• When writing letters, do not press hard; always write lightly.
