If you know how to use the 860 Full Page IPS, this training will show you how to use the 860

Partial Page. Basically, the only difference between the two systems is the size of the
screen. The Partial Page will show you 24 lines at a time instead of 66 like the Full Page.

The Activity Page
On the Partial Page, the Activity Page is divided into two sections. When you load
software, the INDEX section of the Activity Page will come to the screen. The INDEX on
the Partial Page displays fifteen document titles at one time. Like the Full Page, you use
the SCROLL key or the LINE key to view the other titles in the INDEX.
When the INDEX is on the screen, you also see the Command Line and the Instruction
Blocks. Under the Instruction Blocks, you see three headings: INDEX, STORAGE LEFT, and
MARKED DOCUMENTS. The words after INDEX tell you the name of the active disc. To
move to the other disc station, you touch the PARA key.

Roman Letter Development

Many styles in writing developed as learning was carried from
Rome throughout the rest of the known world. The influence of the
roman characters might have been lost, however, had not Emperor
Charlemagne taken an interest in the revival and spread of ancient

learning.
Charlemagne encouraged the establishment of a school at

Tours by an English scholar named Alcuin. The calligraphy of this
school became the model for the rest of Europe.

The manuscript hand of the Venetian scribes, which Nicholas
Jenson followed as his model, developed apart from gothic lettering.
It had evolved from roman capital letters. In formal writing and
inscriptions the early Romans used square capitals, with slight
modifications, in the form of our upper-case alphabet. For
correspondence and documents not requiring formal writing, large
cursive or running capitals were used.
By the tenth century the use of letter forms from which we
derive our lower case was quite universal. However, these letters
did not assume the fixed form with which we are familiar until they
were cast in types by Jenson.
The humanistic manuscripts, that is, manuscripts of classical
literature produced by Venetian scribes, were Jenson's models. He
did not copy the handwriting of the scribes letter for letter, but
created a font of related letters legible and pleasing in effect. He
clearly recognized that mechanical perfection is not as desirable as
the composite appearance of the page.
In crediting Jenson with our style of roman type, it would be
unfair to overlook other early printers who experimented with
roman letter forms, or who modified the early gothic letters. The
first German types were angular and pointed; later types became
more rounded. A semi-gothic face, tending distinctly toward roman,
was used in 1640 by John Mentelin, the Strassburg Printer.

Editing a Document

In the next exercise, you'll make some revisions to ROMAN LETTERS. Revisions are made
on the Partial Page just like they are on the Full Page. Again, the only difference is that
you don't see the entire page of text on the screen at one time. As you know from the Full
Page, there are several ways to get to text that needs changing. You can use the text keys
to move the highlighting down the screen. Or, you can use SEARCH to move directly to the
text you want to change.
Step 1

RECALL

ROMAN LETTERS to the screen.

If you just want to look at the bottom of a page of text, you use the SCROLL key to move
the text up on the screen. Touching SCROLL once moves the text up one line. If you hold

down the SCROLL key, the text moves quickly up the screen.

You have now completed the training for 860 Partial Page. Important points to remember
are listed below.

The Partial Page operates very much like the Full Page, except that it will display
only 24 lines of single-spaced text at a time.

You can use the SCROLL key to view the lines at the bottom of the page and RVRSE +
SCROLL to scroll back to the top of the page.

As you type, the screen will automatically scroll up when you type more than 23 lines
on a page.

The Activity Page is divided into two sections. You use the PAGE key to move back
and forth between the Active List and the Index sections.

The System Disc Page and the Format Pages are also divided into two sections. On
these pages, you use PARA or LINE to move to the second section, and you use
RVRSE + PARA or RVRSE + LINE to move back to the first section.

One additional difference on the Partial Page is in the CONVERT utility. If you use the
CONVERT utility to convert the information on 850 discs, you will notice that the screen
displays three rows of 10 document titles. If you have more then 30 titles on your 850 disc,
you can use the LINE or SCROLL keys to view the other titles.

Whenever the Command Line displays a system error, write down
the first four numbers and three letters, then look up the system
error description for the proper action to take. Be sure you reload
the software after following the specified procedure.
If you

repeatedly get one particular system error, call the
Customer Support Center with the error and the specific action
. that causes the error. The Customer Support Center may be able

information.
Then, recall the document on the destination disc.
The document will have the message / / / /OISC

Using the Cursor and the CAT
The cursor is represented on the screen by a small oblong symbol, Q. The "home" position of
the cursor is in the upper left corner of the screen. The cursor is not visible when the Next
Character Mark is on the screen.
The cursor is used by the system to indicate the action point while editing. When an edit is
made, the cursor will move to the position of the revision and stay there until the next edit
is made or you use the CAT to move the cursor.
When you're using SEARCH to locate text for editing, it's important to note the position of
the cursor. A forward search begins at the position of the cursor and goes forward from
that point. A reverse search begins at the position of the cursor and goes in reverse from
that point.
The cursor should be in the "home" position on the first page before you paginate or
reformat a document. Touching the STOP key will automatically "home" the cursor.

The CAT is the circular pad located to the right of the keyboard. It's activated by the touch
of your fingers and is used to move the cursor around on the screen. The cursor moves in
the same direction that your fingers do on the pad. In other words, if you put your fingers at
the bottom of the pad, the cursor will move to the bottom of the screen.
The speed of the cursor is controlled by the number of fingers you put on the CAT.
Touching the CAT with one finger moves the cursor slowly; using two fingers moves the
cursor a Ii ttle faster; using three fingers moves the cursor even faster.
You can use the CAT to quickly move the cursor to an action point. Just move the cursor
near the desired area and touch one of the text keys to highlight the section of text you
want to work with.
'
The cursor and the CAT are very useful tools. Experiment with them and learn to use them
to your advantage.

Search String
Any character or code you type in a document can be located with the SEARCH function.
After you touch the SEARCH key, you type in the text or code you want the system to look
for. The text or code appears between the quote marks in the Command Line and is called a
search string. When you type a search string, it will remain in the search instruction and
will appear in the Command Line the next time you touch the SEARCH key. You can then
type in a new search string, touch the DEL key to delete the string, or change the string
(see below).
The maximum number of characters you can enter as a search string is 62. When typing text
in the search string, the 26th character moves the string to the left in the Command Line.
Upon typing the 52nd character, the words FORW ARD TO: or REVERSE TO: are covered up
by the search string. At the 62nd character, the message STRING FULL appears at the left
in the Command Line.

On the Recordable Format Page, you see three sections of information. The first section
contains the margins, tabs, line spacing, justify, pitch, keyboard/print wheel, and print wheel
10 options.
Page Layout
The second section is called Page Layout and consists of Top Margin, Bottom Margin, and
Paper Size. The Top Margin setting determines where the first line of your document will
print on the page. If you type in a Header, the Header will print on the first line after the
Top Margin. It will be separated from the text in the document by one line space. (See
Header, page 3 - 19 for more information.)
The Bottom Margin setting determines where the last line of your document will print. If
you type in a Trailer, the Trailer will print on the first line above the Bottom Margin. (See
Trailer, page 3 - 20 for more information.)
The Paper Size setting should be the same as the total number of vertical lines on your
paper. If you're using 8Y2" x 11" paper and want one inch of white space at the top and
bottom of each page, the Top Margin setting should be 6, the Bottom Margin setting should
be 6, and the Paper Size setting should be 66. With these settings, you'll get 54 lines of text
per page. You can change the amount of white space per page by changing the Top and/or
Bottom Margins.

Unattended Edit Reformat
When· you edit a document, Unattended Edit Reformat rearranges the text to take care of
insertions and deletions. Unattended Edit Reformat does not ask for any hyphenation
decisions.

Attended Edit Reformat
If you highlight UNATTENDED under EDIT REFORMAT and turn off the option, it becomes

Attended Edit Reformat. Attended Edit Reformat rearranges text on the screen after
changes, and, where needed, asks for hyphenation decisions. A good time to use Attended
Edit Reformat would be when making a few small editing changes that wouldn't change the
page length. You could make all your hyphenation decisions at the same time you make the
changes.
Once you've turned off UNATTENDED, be sure to turn on the option before starting a new
document or editing a long document.

Reformatting and Paginating
If you edit a document with Unattended Edit Reformat and print the document, it will look
okay. But, for the best-looking final copy, you should reformat and, if needed, paginate your

document. All Reformat and Paginate options are listed on the non-recordable format page
along with the Edit and Display options.
You'll use different options at different times depending on your document and the changes
you make to it. For instance, if you added or deleted a few words to a short, one-page
document, turning on Reformat alone would be enough. However, the longer the document
and the more changes you make, the more options you'll need to turn on. The following are
examples of changes you might make and the options you'll need to turn on to take care of
the changes.

cursor. It's best to start reformatting or paginating from the beginningof the document. If
you don't want to reformat or paginate the entire document, however, you can use Page
Limit to stop at a particular page.
To use Page Limit (after selecting Reformat or Paginate):

Centering Text Over an Optional Point

Generally you give a CODE + 4 center instruction to center text between the margins. You
can also instruct the 860 to center text in other positions.
HEADING OVER COLUMN

HEADING OVER SINGLE POINT

If you want a heading

over a column of text,
type in the left and
right side positions.

TYPE

Result

The message CENTER BETWEEN and the margin settings
display in the Command Line. The left margin setting
flashes.

If you want the heading to center over a column of text (as shown above on the left), you
type in the position of the left and right sides of the column. If you want the heading to

center over a single point (as shown above on the right), you type the same number twice.

Using the Line and Character Counters

The Line and Character Counters show your position on the screen as you input or edit text.
You can use the Line Counter to determine where text will print on the page. For instance,
it can be used to center a heading between the top and bottom of the page. In the example
below, the paper size is 66 so TY PING MADE EASY was typed on Line 33.

TYPING MADE EASY

By
Jan Smith

The Line Counter shows units when you use Index or CODE + Index to type superscripts and
subscripts. For example, the Line Counter might show 11/1, indicating you are 1 unit down
from the 11 th line. (Each unit on the Line Counter is Y4 line space- -1/24th of an inch.)

7/21/80

MAKING YOUR JOB EASIER
3 - 25

When you type in proportional spacing, the Character Counter also shows units. For
example, the Character Counter might show 14/4, indicating that you are 4 units past the
14th character position. In the example shown below, a signature line was drawn the exact
length of the text by using the Character Counter.

GEORGE F. HUMMEL, Jr.
President and Chief Executive Officer

To draw a line the exact length of the text:

TYPE

the text that needs the underline.

MAKE

a note of the Character Counter num ber •

TOUCH

the return key.

ENTER

CODE + Indexes to place the line above the text.

TYPE

under lines (shift plus dash key) to draw the line up to the
same Character Counter number.

Note: (In proportional spacing: if the Character Counter number was 62/4, stop underlining
when the Character Counter reaches 63.)

Using Abbreviation Period
When the text you're typing contains abbreviations, you can use an abbreviation period to
tell the system to read the period as an abbreviation period and not as the end of sentence
punctuation. For instance, in the example below if the words Inc. or v. or Corp. came at the
end of a line and you reformatted the document, the system might put two spaces after Inc.
or v. or Corp. To make sure the abbreviation comes out the way you want it to, use an
abbreviation period. To do this, you use CODE + the period key.
in the Case of Hessler, Inc. v. Farrell Corp. Del. Supr., 260 A. 2d 701 (1969)
To change regular periods to abbreviation periods:

HIGHLIGHT

the regular period using the CHAR key.

TOUCH

RPLCE.

HOLD

down the CODE key and touch the period key.

TOUCH

ACCPT.

Using Coded Spaces
Something else you might want to consider is that reformatting may put a carrier return
This would be
inappropriate in some cases; for instance, between Mr. and Smith or between John and
Smith. To make sure the name or abbreviation will come out the way you want it to, put a
coded space wherever a carrier return would be unacceptable. To do this, you use CODE +
the space bar.
af ter a period whether you've used an abbreviation period or not.

To change regular spaces to coded spaces:

Creating Superscripts and Subscripts
With the 860, you can type scientific notations or footnotes by using the Index key (next to
the DEL key). The Index key has i on its keycap. Touching the Index key once puts the
next character one-quarter line space below the line of typing. Using CODE + Index puts
the next character one-quarter line space above the line of typing. Since Index only moves
one-quarter line space, you can use single line spacing and the super or subscript won't print
over the text in the next line, as shown in the example below.
H2 is an example of a subscript and y2 is an
example of a superscript.
The formula for projecting the impact of new
construction is X2 = R3 + P3-

To create a superscript (above the line of typing):

TYPE

your text up to the superscript.

ENTER

CODE + Index.

TYPE

the superscript.

TOUCH

the Index key to return to the original line of typing.

To create a subscript (below the line of typing):

TYPE

your text up to the subscript.

TOUCH

the Index key.

TYPE

the subscript.

ENTER

CODE + Index to return to the original line of typing.

You can use as many Indexes or CODE + Indexes as necessary. Each Index displays as i on
the screen and CODE + Index as :! . When you type Indexes (or CODE + Indexes), they will
display on the current line of typing. In addition, the first Index (or CODE + Index) on the
current line actually causes an adjustment of one-quarter line space on the screen. When
the system begins the next line, the symbol for the first Index (or CODE + Index) that caused
the adjustment on the previous line disappears from the screen. The first Index (or
CODE + Index) will always be visible if the line is highlighted or CODE DISPLAY is turned
on. When using more than one Index or CODE + Index, you can use the Line Counter to
determine your typing position.

Creating Symbols - Using CODE + BACKSPACE

With the 860, you can create a special symbol (like a division sign) by using CODE +
BACKSPACE to back up to the center of the previous character. This feature is especially
helpful in proportional spacing because the 860 automatically calculates the center of the
prev ious character.

The result of this test should be 38 degrees
Fahrenheit, ±. 2 degrees.
To create the first example shown above.

TYPE

Using Overstrike
The 860 has an automatic overstrike feature. Overstrike is generally used for legal
applications. Before permanent revisions are made, the text to be revised is printed out
with a hyphen through the characters (see below). You can change the overstr ike character
(the standard is a hyphen) to any character you want on the Master Format Page.

December 27, 1979 and of the principles upon which
American Jurisprudence is based.

Removing Underline, Bold, or Overstrike
If your text is underlined or bolded or overstruck, it's a simple matter to get rid of one
feature--highlight the text and use R VRSE + UND. If your text is underlined, bolded, and
overstruck, and you use R VRSE + UND, all features will be deleted.
If you want to delete just the bolding, you can use R VRSE + CODE + 9.

Drawing Lines

You can instruct the 860 to automatically draw lines in your document by using the CODE +
UND instruction. To do this, you must first define the line length by setting a tab and
special tab in the format. If you want the line drawn from margin to margin, you only need
to set a special tab at the right margin. In the example below, the lines are "drawn" from
the left margin to a special tab at the right margin.

To create lines like the ones shown in the example above:

TOUCH

the FORMAT key.

DELETE

all tab settings.

SET

the left margin or a regular tab at the position you want the
line to begin.

SET

a special tab (upper tab key) at the position you want the
line to stop.

TOUCH

ACCPT to record the format.

TOUCH

the return key once.

ENTER

CODE + UND at the left margin or at the tab and touch
return twice.

ENTER

CODE + UND + UND (hold down CODE and touch the UND
key twice) and touch the return key twice.

ENTER

CODE + UND + UND + UND (hold down CODE and touch the
UND key three times) and touch the return key twice.

When you're finished drawing lines, be sure to set a new format block without the special tab
before typing any text. Although you see one line on the screen, you can highlight the line
and check the number of CODE + UNDs (a U in a box).

Justified Text With a Run-Around
There may be times when you will need to change formats in the middle of paragraphs to
accommodate pictures or drawings. This type of page layout is referred to as a "runaround".

This is an example of a left flush "run-around" for
the addition of a picture or drawing in the final page
composition. It is created by typing the
document originally using a format to
accommodate the longest lines. When
the typing is finished, the document is reformatted.
Add an additional format to accommodate the short
lines, then the paragraph is ready for correct
printout.

Creating a System Disc

Every time you turn on the 860, you must use a System Disc to put the software (operating
instructions) in the 860's memory. The software tells the 860 how to respond to your
commands.
The 860 comes with a Word Processing Master Disc. The Master Disc cannot be used to put
the software in the 860's memory. The Master Disc is used to create a System Disc. You
should create your System Disc, then return the Master Disc to its protective folder and put
it away.
You can use the Word Processing Master Disc to create as many System Discs as you like.
Once a System Disc has been created in your 860, it cannot be used in another 860. When a
system disc is created on an 860, a code is written on the disc that personalizes it for use in
the system it was created on. This prevents its use in other 860 systems.

"HOW TO" GLOSSARY
4 - 28

Creating a Word Processing System Disc
If you have a new 860, you'll need to create a Word Processing System Disc before using the

operator training manuals. The steps below explain how to do this. Read through the entire
procedure before you begin, then follow the instructions carefully.
If you already have an 860 and have received an updated Master Disc, you'll need to create a

new System Disc. Although you can update your old System Disc with the new software, it's
best to use a new or newly initialized disc. The instructions for this procedure begin below.
After you've made a new System Disc, you can then initialize your old System Disc and use
it for recording documents.

For this procedure, you need a Word Processing Master Disc and a new disc. If you don't
have a new disc, you can use a newly initialized disc with 0 flawed sectors.

Step 1

Step 2

REMOVE

any discs from the controller.

CHECK

that the Write Protect tape is on the Master Disc and on your
new disc or initialized disc. (See page 1 - 21 of the Operator
Manual for information on the Write Protect tape.)

INSERT

the disc labeled Master Disc into the right disc station and close
the door.

PRESS

the REST ART button (button If 1) on the diagnostic panel.

Result

The word XEROX displays on the screen. Then the 860 checks to
be sure that the disc is a Master Disc.

Note: . If the disc you inserted is not a Master Disc, an error code will be
displayed on the diagnostic panel. Should this happen, remove the disc, insert a
Word Processing Master Disc, and press the REST ART button on the diagnostic
panel.
Next, the message LOADING -- PLEASE WAIT appears in the
Command Line at the top of the screen.
Then the message INSERT DISC TO BE CREATED
MODIFIED -- THEN ACCPT appears in the Command Line.

Step 3

1/05/81

INSERT

a new disc or an initialized disc into the left disc station. IF you
inse(t an initialized disc, go on to Step 5 on page 31.

Step 4

TOUCH

the ACCPT key.

Result

The message INITIALIZE DISC? displays in the Command Line.

TOUCH

the ACCPT key again to initialize the new disc so it can be used
in the 860.

Result

The Master Disc brings the Initialize Utility to the screen. The
message INITIALIZE LEFT DISC -- PARA KEY TO SWITCH
ST ATIONS displays in the Command Line.

TOUCH

the ACCPT key to initialize the new disc in the left station.

Result

The message NEW DISC? - - ACCPT TO CONTINUE displays.

TOUCH

the ACCPT key.

Result

The message ENTER DISC NAM E "" displays.

TYPE

SYSTEM DISC for the disc name and touch the ACCPT key.

Result

The message INITIALIZING DISC -- PLEASE WAIT displays in
the Command Line for about 30 seconds. Then the message
VERIFYING DISC -- PLEASE WAIT displays for another 30
seconds.
When the disc has been initialized and verified, the message INIT

LOOK

at your Command Line. If the disc has a FLAWED SECTORS, go
on to the next action below. If the disc has any flawed sectors,
read the Note below.

Note: If the disc has any flawed sectors, remove the disc, touch ACCPT to
continue using Initialize, get another new disc and repeat from the beginning of
Step 4 above to this point. Do not use a disc with flawed sectors to make a
System Disc. It may, however, be used for daily work as the system will not
record on the fla wed sectors.

DISC INITIALIZE

The Disc Initialize Utility erases a disc and formats it for use in the 860. Once a disc has
been initialized, it will be verified to determine if there are any flawed sectors. Any flawed
sectors will be marked by the 860 so they cannot be used when you record or edit documents
on the disc. At the end of the verification, a message will display in the Command Line to
let you know if there are any flawed sectors.
If you're using double sided discs, the 860 will initialize and verify one side of the disc, then
the other side of the disc, and then tell you if there are any flawed sectors.

Use this utility whenever you have a new disc that you want to use in the 860. If you have a
box of new discs, it's a good idea to initialize them all at the same time. You should also
use the Initialize Utility to completely erase a disc when you no longer need any of the
docum en ts on it.

RECONSTRUCT

The Reconstruct Utility is used to recover good information on a disc that's been damaged.
For instance, if you get an NDX type system error when you insert a disc, it means the 860
cannot read the Index. Reconstruct would be used to put the Index back together so you
could recall the documents.
If you get an NDX type system error, first touch ACCPT and reload the software. Then try
to recall the documents on the disc. If you can recall all the documents and don't get

another NDX system error, you won't need to use Reconstruct.
If you cannot recall one or more of the documents or get another NDX system error, touch
ACCPT and reload the software. Then use Reconstruct to rebuild the Index and save as
much text as possible.

Before you begin, be sure you have a newly initialized disc with 0 flawed sectors.

•
•
•

Documents with document titles
Documents with titles that start with two percent signs
Documents with titles that start with two periods

The documents shown with document titles have been "linked together" by the system and
are ready to be recalled. The 860 was able to find all the sectors contained in these
documents and put them in the proper order. These documents will look exactly as they did
before you used reconstruct.
The documents that start with two percent signs have also been "linked together" by the
system and are ready to be recalled. The sectors in these documents were also put together
in· the proper order. The only thing missing is the document title. You should be able to
compare the number of pages and sectors contained in these documents with a printout of
the old Index and identify these documents. If you don't have a printout of the Index,
compare the text in the documents with a printout of the document and rename the
document from the Activity Page.
The documents that start with two periods are not complete. When the 860 performed the
reconstruct, it was not able to find all the linking information belonging to these documents.
During the reconstruct, the 860 linked together as many sectors as possible in the
appropriate order. These documents are usually "old" r·evisions to documents that were in
the Backup Index.
If you are still missing some documents, you can recall the documents that start with two

periods. These documents may have some text missing; you will need to retype any missing
information. When you have identified and renamed all the good documents, delete all
unusuable documents. Then, you can use the disc in the normal manner.
You should use the INITIALIZE utility to reinitialize the problem disc before using it again.
Remember, during the reconstruct, the problem disc was duplicated to another disc and
reconstructed on the other disc. When you initialize the problem disc, all flawed sectors
will be marked and reserved by the 860 so that you can use that disc again.

RECOVER

The Recover Utility is used to recover original information that has never been stored. For
instance, if you have a power loss or a system error while typing and you are not able to
store the document. If the document you were typing was less than 1,000 characters (2
pages), it is more practical to retype the document.
The Recover Utility will only function properly when the disc Index is good. Recover will
not work on a disc with an NDX (Index) error. If you get an NDX error while working on an
original document, use Reconstruct to rebuild the Index, then use Recover on the
reconstructed disc.
If you have a power loss while editing a document, you may be able to recover some of the

information that wasn't stored.
The 860 handles the storing of revised documents
differently and the amount of information you can recover will be limited.
Before you begin, be sure you have a newly initialized disc with 0 flawed sectors.

PROBLEM SOLVING ON THE 860
This section contains explanations for problem situations you may encounter. If your
problem involves a Command Line message, you should look the message up in the
MESSAGES & SYMBOLS section of this manual.
XEROX also provides two types of specialized assistance:
CUSTOMER SUPPORT
The Customer Support Center (esc) provides assistance for any type of
operational problem.
They also provide answers to specific questions on
applica tions.
TECHNICAL SERVICE
Your local Xerox branch should be contacted when you think you have a
technical or hardware problem.
If you're not sure whether the problem is software or hardware, the CSC can help you make

this determination. If technical service is required, the CSC will call your local Xerox
service dispatcher for you.
IDENTIFYING TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
Problem:

If you have poor print quality, poor or inaccurate screen display quality, or an
obvious mechanical problem like a broken disc station door or a stuck or broken
key, call your local branch for technical service.

Problem:

You turn on the system but nothing happens.
First, check the lights on the diagnostic panel and the light next to the ON/OFF
switch. Lights 1, 2, and 3 on the diagnostic panel and the light next to the
ON/OFF switch should all be on.
If the lights are not lit, check that the system power cord is plugged into the
wall socket and connected to the socket at the back of the controller. If

everything is connected but the lights still don't come on, check to be sure the
wall outlet has power. If the outlet has power but the lights still don't come on,
call for technical service.
Problem:

The lights are on but the system isn't working the way you expect it to.
Insert your diagnostic disc in either disc station. Then, press the 112 button on
the diagnostic panel. The system will make a check of all the hardware. If you
watch the diagnostic panel, you'll see a series of numbers. When the diagnostic
test is finished (2 to 4 minutes), the numbers 9999 will be displayed if the
hardware is working correctly. Eject the diagnostic disc, insert your system disc
and reload the software. If you still encounter a problem, call the CSC for help.
Any numbers other than 9999 indicate a problem. If the number begins with an E
or 04, check your diagnostic disc. Be sure it is a diagnostic disc and that it was
correctly inserted (arrows up and in). If the disc was inserted incorrectly, run
diagnostics again. If you see any other numbers, write them down and call for
technical service.

This will occur if the shift lock is down.

Action:

Release the shift lock and type the numbers.

Reason (1): This will occur if the margins are not appropriate for centering the heading on that page,
or if the settings entered in the CENTER
BETWEEN instruction were not correct.
Action:

Column headings don't

To use
CENTER BETWEEN to change the centering
position, highlight the CODE + 4, touch
RPLCE and type a space and a CODE + 4.
Then enter numbers for the left and right
margin to properly center the heading.

Reason (1): This will occur if a column centering instruction (CODE + 5) is not entered on line.
Action:

Highlight the line of headings and enter a
CODE + 5.

Reason (2): This will occur if more than one CODE + 5 is
entered on a line. A second CODE + 5 entered
on a line cancels the column center instruction.
Action:

Delete any unnecessary CODE + 5s.

Reason (3): This will occur if proper tabs are not set in the
format block.
Action:

1/5/81

Return to Format Block and set tabs and
special tabs as required. CODE + 5 will only

Reason (2): This will occur if spaces are typed in front of
or behind the heading. The 860 does not drop
leading or trailing spaces in a centered
heading.
Action:

Delete any extra spaces from the heading.

Reason:

Pitch is not recorded in 850 documents. When
you convert documents to the 860, they will be
recorded with the pitch set in the Master
Format on the System Disc.

Action:

You have two choices: (1) On each document,
change the pitch to 10 or 12, reformat, replace pitch, and paginate, or (2) change the
Master Format on the System Disc to 10 or 12
pitch when converting.

Reason:

This will occur if you are making many revisions to the documents on a disc or if the
Backup Index is full.

Action:

Use the Recover Disc Space routine (highlight
the INDEX, touch STOP and touch ACCPT).
Or,
Use the Backup Index Utility and delete all
unwanted documents.
Or,
Copy document(s) to another disc that has
more space available.

THE PRINTER

The standard 13" printer and the wide bed 28" printer are fully electronic
printers using print wheels as the typing element. Print wheels are interchangeable and are available in three pitches and many type styles. The
pitches are 10 (Pica), 12 (Elite), and PS (proportional spacing). Each print
wheel has the type style and pitch printed on the face of the wheel. The print
wheel is color coded to help identify the pitch - PS is red, 12 is green, and 10
is blue.
Ribbons are also interchangeable and are available in fabric, single-strike
carbon or multi-strike carbon.

SHARED PRINTER INTERFACE
The Shared Printer Interface (SPI) comes with a manual that explains how to use
it. The manual explains that you can have three systems plugged into the SPI.
The sockets on the SPI are marked A, Band C. Each system will be referred to
as A, B or C, depending on which socket it is plugged into.
In addition to the information in the manual, there are a few specific rules that
must be followed when using the SPI with 860 Information Processing Systems.
•

When using the SPI, you must be sure that your System Disc shows SH ARED
PRINTER INTERFACE - YES in the configuration column.

•

The software must be loaded in both the A and B systems before the printer
can be used.
It is a good idea to turn on both the A and B systems and load the
software first thing in the morning. Software is loaded by selecting a
software option (like WORD PROCESSING) from the System Disc Page
and touching ACCPT.
If you also have a system plugged into the C socket, it is a good idea to
load its software when you load A and B. If you turn the C system on or
off during the day, the C light on the SPI plug may stay on. Should this
happen, touch CODE + PARA at the A or B system and then hold down the
advance switch on the SPI plug until the C light goes off.

You may see the message INSERT PAPER in the Command Line after the
860's are turned on and loaded. Touching STOP will clear the message.
•

The software cannot be reloaded in either system A or B while the printer is
being used.
Any time the A or B system is going to reload software, you must stop the
printer, load the software and then restart the printer.
Reloading software occurs when you select a software option on the
System Disc Page and touch ACCPT. That means that you reload
software after using a Utility or when selecting another software option.
Of course, you will also reload software after touching the Restart button
on the diagnostic panel.
You can reload software in the C system while the printer is being used.

•

If you mix 860's with 850's on the SPI, the 860 must be plugged into the
highest letter on the SPI.
If you have one 860 and one 850, the 860 must be plugged into the A
socket. If you have two 860's and one 850, the 860's must be plugged into
the A and B sockets and the 850 into the C socket.

7/21/80

PRINTERS
6- 7

SHARED PRINTER INTERFACE (cont.)
•

The printer cannot be used while diagnostics is being run in any of the
systems.
To run diagnostics, stop the printer, run diagnostics in one of the 860's,
then reload the software and start the printer again.

•

You should not clear a partially printed document from the Active List if
another system is using the printer.
If you need to clear a partially printed document, wait until the printer is
free (no SPI lights on), then clear the document from the Active List.

•

If printing is stopped in the middle of a page, you may have to use CODE +

PARA at the keyboard rather then the STOP/START button on the printer to
start the printer again.

Double Sided Discs
The 860 records on pne side of a single sided disc and on both sides of a double
sided disc. The illustration below shows how you can tell the difference between
a double sided disc and a single sided disc.

Double Sided

Single Sided

In order to use a double sided disc, you must select double sided disc under
Configuration when you create your System Disc.
Single sided discs may be used in a double sided disc station.
Initializing a double sided disc is just like initializing a single sided disc. First
the system will initialize and verify Side one of the disc, then initialize and
verify Side Two, then display the message 0 Flawed Sectors.

Note: When a double sided disc station is in use, the disc station door is locked
and will not open until all documents are stored.

Using Custom Print Wheels
If you have a custom print wheel with a special character, you can access the

special character with the bracket key. Be sure you select STD (standard) as the
KB/PW (keyboard/print wheel) in the format block when you type a document that
uses the special character.
Special characters are on the upper-case period and upper-case comma spokes of the
print wheel. To access the character on the upper-case period spoke, you use shift
+ the bracket key; to access the character on the upper-case comma spoke, you use
the bracket key. Although brackets will display on the screen, the special
characters will print in your document when you use the custom print wheel.
