Preface

The IBM “Selectric” Typewriter, featuring a small,

globe-shaped element containing all type characters,

makes typing fast and easy. The element skims across

the page typing out characters rapidly and evenly.

Type clash has been eliminated because typebars have

been eliminated. There is no carriage and, therefore,

no vibration or machine movement. This actually

provides more work area around your machine.

Type styles can be changed in seconds by lifting off one

element and replacing it with another. This versatility lets

you select the type style best suited to each typing job.

Your IBM “Selectric” Typewriter offers many features

that help make all typing jobs easier. The IBM Stroke

Storage System reduces typing errors by storing the

second of two rapidly typed characters until the first is

printed out. All service keys are within easy reach from

the keyboard control area, and an Impression Control

lets you adjust the impact of the typing element to suit

each application.

Whether you are using the Film Ribbon, or Fabric

Ribbon Cartridge, with the IBM “Selectric” Typewriter

you can expect your typing to be smoother, faster,

and have fewer errors than ever before.

The Top of Your IBM

“Selectric” Typewriter

The IBM ”Selectric” Typewriter has no

moving carriage. In fact, there is no carriage

in the traditional sense. There is nothing

to interfere with the work you are doing, or

bump other objects on your desk. This

actually increases the amount of usable

space around your typewriter.

Multiple Copy Control Lever

To allow space for additional copies, move

the Multiple Copy Control Lever from the

forward position toward the rear, one space

for every five copies. The weight of the

paper you use will affect the correct Multiple

Copy Control setting. This Lever adjusts the

platen to assure that the typing element

will strike squarely on the paper.

Line Space Lever

The inner Lever on the upper right side of

your typewriter is the Line Space Lever.

Line spacing of your choice, single or double,

is selected by moving this Lever to the

appropriate setting. The setting for single

spacing is indicated by one line, double

spacing by two.

Paper Release Lever

Move this Lever forward in order to reposition

or remove paper from the typewriter. When

you are ready to type, be certain that this

Lever is back, in the position furthest from you.

Paper Guide

To insert and align paper accurately, move

the Paper Guide to the desired location.

Square your paper pack. Insert the paper in

the slot behind the platen with the left edge

against the Paper Guide. The Paper Release

Lever should be back for this insertion. Use

the typamatic action of the Index Key to roll

the paper around the platen.

Copy Guide and Copy Guide Scale

The Copy Guide prevents the refeeding of

paper around the platen and provides a flat

surface for erasing. The top scale of the

Copy Guide is marked off in inches and aids

in centering paper in the typewriter. The

bottom scale is the pitch scale and corre—

sponds to the Margin Scale. It is used to

determine the number of characters that can

be typed per inch. The number directly

under the one—inch marking represents the

number of characters per inch that can

be typed on your typewriter.

On the left and right side of the Copy Guide

there are small white horizontal brackets

indicating the correct placement for the left

and right paper edges when you wish to

center paper in the typewriter. The outer

edges of these brackets are for centering

81/2” paper (standard size). The inner edges

are used to center 8” paper.

Paper Bail

The Paper Bail holds paper firmly against

the platen. Pull the Paper Bail forward to

insert paper and push it back, against the

platen, to hold paper in typing position.

Line Finder

The Line Finder, located on the right end

of the platen, permits you to leave a

typewritten line and return again.

-Move the Lever forward before leaving the

typing line.

-Make your insertion or correction.

-Return to the approximate typing line and

return the Lever to its home position.

Moving the Lever forward enables you to type

anywhere on the page. Moving the Lever

back will reengage the normal spacing action

to permit areturn to the original typing

location. Touch the Carrier Return Key to

return to the correct typing alignment.

You will find this Lever useful in anumber

of operations:

-Erasing

-Typing superscriptsor subscripts

-Creating double underscores

Platen Knobs

The left and right Platen Knobs enable you

to rotate the platen manually in order to insert

paper or to change the position of the page

vertically.

Platen Variable

Variable platen action is achieved by pressing

in against the left Platen Knob—providing

free-rolling of the platen in either

direction. This enables you to permanently

change the position of the writing line and

aids when reinserting a page for corrections

or additions.

-Before setting the Page-End Indicator, align

the top edge of the paper with the writing

line on the Clear View Card Holder.

-Rotate the Indicator until the 2position (the

setting for standard—size paper) is in line

with the horizontal mark on the top of the

typewriter adjacent to the right Platen Knob.

When using other than 11” paper, add one

inch to the Indicator setting of two (2) for each

inch longer than 11”. For each inch shorter

than 11” subtract one inch from the Indicator

setting for standard-sizepaper.

Note: Remember that there is only ahalf inch

of space between 0and the number 4on

the Page-End Indicator. Therefore, when you

add 1to the number 4the setting will be 1/2.

The setting you arrive at when you add 1to

31/22 will be zero.

Page-End Indicator

The Page-End Indicator rotates in descending

numerical order (4, 3, 2, 1, 0) as you type.

It is calibrated in half inches. One complete

revolution of the platen equals 41/2”. Two

revolutions equal 9”. Since standard—size

paper is 11” long you must add 2” to the

9”, represented by the two revolutions of the

platen, to equal 11”. Therefore, when using

standard paper, set the Indicator on 2. When

you reach zero for the second time you

will be 41/2" from the bottom of the page. From

that point on the Indicator will show the

number of inches to the bottom of the page.
