Control de buscador de líneas
- Not sure if this is related to the CARDHOLDER where there is usually a horizontal line on the clear plastic, so that you can find the line you want to type on and can correctly position the paper so that you type on the right line.
3l
Escala de centrado de papel
- There is a guide on the side of the carriage. This guide has markings for different widths of paper. You would move this guide/scale to the width of your paper (8.5-inch, 11-inch, etc.) and when you aligned your paper to this guide/scale, your paper would be centered on the platen.
- (I believe that is only on the typewriters where the carriage did not actually move - i.e. the electric typewriters, where the typing head/element moved, instead of the carriage).
3m
Sujetador de tarjetas
- Paper is more flexible than card stock. The cardholder is the clear plastic on both sides of the strike area that holds cardstock back against the platen so that it does not lean forward too much because it is bent/rolled around in the platen.
3n
Palanca para sostener el papel
- The paper bail is a horizontal bar across the platen with a number of small rollers to hold down the paper. The PAPER BAIL LEVER was on one side of the carriage which lifted this paper bail.
3o
Palanca para rotar el rodillo
- A modern advance in technology introduced selectable "pitch" so that the typewriter could be switched among pica ("10 pitch", or 10 characters per inch) and elite ("12 pitch"), in one document.
- (This is also in 'newer' typewriters that were usually electric).
3p
Margen de liberación
- The MARGIN RELEASE allowed typing beyond the right MARGIN STOP so that if you had one or two letters to finish the word, you could do that.

Saber cómo configurar las pestañas para la tabulación de sangrías. Teclear y tabular debidamente una página con al menos cuatro columnas.
- See Wikipedia about tab stops.
- A tab stop on a typewriter is a location where the carriage movement is halted by mechanical gears. Tab stops are set manually, and pressing the tab key causes the carriage to go to the next tab stop.
- To set a tab stop, you would advance the carriage to each position where you want the TAB key to stop, and press the tab set key. When you are typing, you would use the TAB key to advance the carriage to the TAB STOP, type the information, and press the TAB key to advance to the next tab stop.
- For example, you may want to create table data:
Trains Farm Station Suburban Station City Center
------ ------------ ---------------- ----------- Route101 06:30 am 07:00 am 07:30 am Route102 09:30 am 10:00 am 10:30 am Route202 12:30 pm 01:00 pm 01:30 pm
- So, you would set the tab stops at the first position for each column, and press the TAB key as you finish the information in each column to quickly advance to the start of the next column.
Tab stop Tab stop Tab stop Tab stop
| | | | v v v v
Trains Farm Station Suburban Station City Center ------ ------------ ---------------- ----------- Route101 06:30 am 07:00 am 07:30 am Route102 09:30 am 10:00 am 10:30 am Route202 12:30 pm 01:00 pm 01:30 pm

Mostrar cómo centrar información horizontal y verticalmente sobre el papel.
- Center information horizontally
- Count the number of spaces that the paper can contain from left to right (example: 80).
- Count the number of letters for the line you are centering (example: 60).
- Subtract the 60 from the 80, which results in 20 (for this example).
- Divide the result (20) by two, which results in ten (10) (for this example).
- You would start your typing TEN spaces from the left side of the paper.
- Center information vertically
- Count the number of lines that the paper can contain from top to bottom (example: 66)
- Count the number of lines you want to type on the paper (example: 50)
- Subtract the 50 from the 66 which results in 16 (for this example)
- Divide the result (16) by two, which results in eight (8) (for this example).
- You would advance the paper EIGHT lines down from the top before you start typing.
- You have to do BOTH of the above to center information HORIZONTALLY and VERTICALLY.
- Through trial and error, you will learn that there are half steps and other neat stuff you can do to get the information as centered as possible.
