TM 5-6675-316-14
(b) If a word that overset the line is a long word and there is not a
word space in the justification zone, the composing machine will switch to the
manual mode, indicate an overset condition and wait for the operator to decide how
to end the line. The operator can erase the overset word using WORD ERASE, retype
part of the word until the justification blinker comes on and enter a hyphen/return
at the appropriate point. When RET is entered, the composing machine goes back to
the automatic mode. Another approach is to erase the entire line and either
decrease minimum word space, increase maximum word space or use white space
reduction or white space addition to enable the line to justify.
(2) In the manual mode, the operator decides when to end a line. When enough
characters and word spaces have been entered on a line for the line to justify, a
marker appears and a beep is sounded indicating the start of the justification zone.
At the same time, the line remainder (LR) in the function field indicates the number
of units remaining in the line. As you continue to keyboard, the LR counts down.
When the remaining space is too small to enter the next word, enter a RET.
(3) The automatic mode is usually faster when producing justified copy.
Because end-of-line decisions are made by the composing machine, the operator can
concentrate on typing accuracy. The manual mode allows the operator to examine the
line before allowing it to be set, thus, allowing complete control over how a line
looks.
